What is massage therapy, and what can it do for you?
The term “massage therapy” is used to describe the manipulation of soft tissue – muscles, skin, and/ or tendons using the fingertips, hands, fists, and elbows. “Body work” is a term for manual techniques that involve touch and movement, which are used to promote health and healing.
A quarter of all Americans have received at least one massage in the past year. This number continues to grow as more and more people discover the benefits of massage for relaxation, rehabilitation, and rejuvenation. Massage is proven to be effective for such a wide range of conditions that physicians often prescribe massage for their patients. Additionally, massage enhances the effectiveness of some forms of chiropractic care, acupuncture, and physical therapies.
