Massage Therapy For Every Body
Massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and joints.
Massage therapy treatment has a therapeutic effect on the body and optimizes health and wellness by acting on the muscular, nervous, connective, circulatory, and lymphatic systems. Physical function can be developed, maintained, and improved; and physical dysfunction, pain, and the effects of stress can be relieved through the use of massage therapy.
Today massage therapy is thought of as a complementary and alternative medicine that enhances mainstream medical treatment. The "Physician's Guide to Therapeutic Massage" shows that massage can decrease pain, improve range of motion, improve mood, aid in the circulation of blood and lymph flow, reduce muscle and joint soreness, and improve sleep.
