Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of
the soft tissues of the body, to achieve a therapeutic response.
It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves the
circulation of the blood and lymph, and relieves pain and stress.
Massage techniques are designed to rehabilitate, maintain
or improve physical function. In addition to manipulation
techniques, massage therapists are also trained in hydrotherapy
and remedial exercise.
Massage therapists work in a variety of settings, often
in conjunction with other health care professionals such
as physiotherapists and chiropractors.
