What Is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy involves hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the human body, which include muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia. It is an excellent form or therapy to help people suffering from repetitive stress injuries, occupational strains, athletic injuries or from traumas such as motor vehicle accidents.
