Massage
Massage is the practice of applying pressure or vibration to the soft tissues of the body, including the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints. A form of therapy, massage can be applied to individual parts of the body or successively to the whole body. It is used to heal injury, relieve psychological stress, manage pain, improve circulation & relieve tension. Where massage is used for its physical and psychological benefits, it may be termed 'therapeutic massage therapy' or 'manipulative therapy'.
