Okay, Just What is Massage Therapy Anyway?

Massage is a form of physical therapy meant to relieve pain and promote relaxation. The therapy is applied directly to the body through some form of pressure or friction – usually with the hands of fingers. And the individual targets of the therapy are the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the body.

Massage therapy has been around since ancient times and, like all therapeutic techniques, massage has evolved and grown. Today dozens of different methods of massage exist in the world. Practitioners are found in every culture and every country on the planet.
