What is Massage Therapy

Massage is one of the oldest and simplest forms of therapy. It is a system of stroking, pressing and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax, stimulate, and tone the body. Massage does much more, it works on the soft tissues, muscles, tendons, and ligaments to improve muscle tone. Massage also stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system, improving the elimination of waste throughout the body.
