What is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons, and ligaments) to enhance health and well-being. Therapeutic massage goes beyond relaxation to address specific musculoskeletal issues, reduce pain, and promote healing through various techniques applied by licensed massage therapists.

How Does Massage Therapy Work?

Licensed massage therapists use their hands, fingers, elbows, and specialized tools to apply pressure and movement to soft tissues. Different techniques, including Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point, and myofascial release, are selected based on your specific needs. This manipulation increases blood flow, reduces muscle tension, breaks up adhesions, and promotes relaxation of the nervous system.
