What is Therapeutic Massage?
Massage is among the oldest of the healing arts. Massage by
definition is "the manipulation of soft tissue for therapeutic
purposes."
The therapeutic portion is what makes it different than that of other
forms of manipulation. What are the benefits of Massage?
Everyone can use a massage!! Massage has been found to promote and
maintain muscle flexibility, condition the cardiovascular system, promote
the assimilation of nutrients, and elimination of toxins, improve postural
alignment, and enhance mental, physical, and emotional well being.
It has also been proven that Massage can induce in the recipient
a heightened awareness of their own bodily process.
Massage is non-invasive and helps encourage the body's healing by
stimulating its own natural tendencies; this helps the body heal itself.
