About
Massage Therapy is the physical manipulation of soft tissues, which includes, the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints in order to allow the body to work at it's optimal level.
Massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints for the purpose of optimizing health.
Massage therapy treatment has a therapeutic effect on the body and optimizes health and well-being by acting on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems. Physical function can be developed, maintained and improved; and physical dysfunction and pain and the effects of stress can be relieved or prevented through the use of Massage Therapy.
Modern massage techniques can be traced back to the 1700s and the development of Swedish massage,
the first systematic method of therapeutic massage based on physiology.
