Massage therapy is the systematized manipulation of soft tissues for the purpose of normalizing them. Practitioners use a variety of physical methods including applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, or causing movement to the body. Therapists primarily use their hands, but may also use their forearms, elbows, or feet.
The basic goal of massage therapy is to help the body heal itself and to increase health and well-being. |

These days massage isn't just for feeling good anymore. It has
lost the ancient stigma associated with red light districts. It
is a holistic therapy that reduces the heart rate, lowers blood
pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxes
muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins,
the body's natural painkillers. Therapeutic massage
enhances medical treatment and helps people feel less anxious
and stressed, relaxed yet more alert. It has been said
that, "Massage is to the human body what a tune-up is for a
car."
