Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for the purpose of normalizing those tissues and consists of a group of manual techniques that include stroking, kneading, pounding and pulling.

Massage has a time-honored history in medicine that stretches back to ancient Greece: Hippocrates was an early advocate of massages, and recommended them on a daily basis to ease pain and prevent stiffness.

How Massage Therapy Works…

Massage therapy is applied primarily with hands, sometimes the forearms or elbows are used. These techniques affect the muscular, skeletal, circulatory, lymphatic, nervous and other systems of the body.

The basic philosophy of massage therapy embraces the concept of vis Mediatrix nature, which is aiding the ability of the body to heal itself, and is aimed at achieving or increasing health and well being.
