What is Massage Therapy?

Today, the term massage therapy is used to describe the manipulation of soft tissue; muscles, skin and or tendons, by fingertips, hands, fists, elbows and even feet. Bodywork is a general term for manual techniques that involve touch and movement and are used to promote health and healing.

Almost a quarter of all American adults have received at least one massage in the past twelve months, and the number continues to grow as more and more people discover the benefits of massage for relaxation, rehabilitation and rejuvination.
