MASSAGE THERAPY

ABOUT MASSAGE THERAPY

MASSAGE THERAPY IS THE SYSTEMATIZED MANIPULATION OF SOFT TISSUES FOR THE PURPOSE OF NORMALIZING THEM. THE BASIC GOAL OF MASSAGE THERAPY IS TO HELP THE BODY HEAL ITSELF AND TO INCREASE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. TOUCH IS THE CORE INGREDIENT OF MASSAGE THERAPY AND ALSO COMBINES SCIENCE AND ART. PRACTITIONERS LEARN SPECIFIC TECHNIQUES FOR MASSAGE AND USE THEIR SENSE OF TOUCH TO DETERMINE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO APPLY TO EACH PERSON AND LOCATE AREAS OF TENSION AND OTHER SOFT TISSUE PROBLEMS. TOUCH ALSO CONVEYS A SENSE OF CARING, AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT IN THE HEALING RELATIONSHIP.
