Massage Therapy – for the Enhancement of Health and Well-Being
Massage therapy means many things to many people. In fact, in a recently published scholarly article, 80 different styles of massage were identified — many of which have only been developed in the last 30 years!
Put simply, massage encompasses the physical, mental and emotional — and is defined as the manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons, and ligaments) to enhance health and well-being. Plus, it feels good, too!
