Body Massage

What Is Massage Therapy?

Massage is generally considered part of integrative medicine. It’s all about heating, rolling, caressing, kneading and pressing the skin and muscles. In massage therapy, a trained, certified medical professional (massage therapist) manipulates your body's soft tissues – muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and skin.
There are many types of massage, each with radically different origins and purposes – some focus on alleviating muscle soreness; others on increasing energy levels; Some are aimed at improving a specific physical condition; others just to help you relax.
