Massage therapy is a treatment used to help relieve tension and pain and enhance well-being.
It involves manipulation of the soft tissues of the body by a trained and certified professional. The manipulation techniques usually consist of stroking, kneading, rolling, and applying varying degrees of pressure and movement.
There are many different styles, each with different origins and aims, but the premise of treatments are usually the same: to reduce stress, lessen pain and tension, increase relaxation and imporve immune function.
