What is massage?
Massage therapy is a practice that dates back thousands of years. There are many types of massage. Pressing, rubbing, and moving your muscles and other soft tissues of the body primarily by using the hands and fingers are the most common.
Typically the intent is to relax the soft tissues, increase the delivery of blood and oxygen to the massaged areas warming them and decreasing pain.
