Many people who need it do not get massage on a regular basis.
The above website discusses why we all need loving, caring touch on a regular basis.
According to the information on this site, nurturing touch can aid in relieving anxiety, depression, and irritability. It can help children and the elderly thrive, aid in reducing problems in women being treated for anorexia, among other things.
One form of healthy, nurturing touch is massage therapy. Even a short chair massage can provide the human contact that we are programmed to need.
