Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy is manipulation of soft tissue. It is used for relaxation and pain relief. People learn, or are forced by injury or stress, into unnatural ways of moving or holding their bodies. This unnatural movement or posture changes the natural alignment of the body, which in turn causes discomfort and may contribute to health problems. Massage attempts to treat chronic tension in deep muscles of the body and is thought to relieve pain and increase flexibility. People may use bodywork to promote relaxation, relieve stress, and reduce pain associated with certain disorders of the muscles and joints, such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. Massage therapy can be a safe form of therapy when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner.
