What Massage Is

The Medical Dictionary defines massage therapy as "the scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for the purpose of normalizing those tissues...consists of manual techniques that include applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, and/or causing movement of or to the body." Massage therapists use their hands and occasionally forearms or elbows, to manually manipulate muscle tissue; both superficial and deep, tendons and ligaments and connective tissues.

What Massage Does

Therapeutic massages increases the circulation of blood and the flow of lymph, the substance that transports many toxins out of the bloodstream. This increases the body's ability to heal itself, making massage a suitable treatment for many conditions that affect the muscular, skeletal and immune systems. Massage has also been proven to reduce muscle stiffness and increase range of motion, as well as inducing relaxation. Massage therapy is commonly recommended for patients with conditions such as muscular strains, sprains and inflammation and chronic pain.
