What is Massage?
Is a hands-on manipulation of the soft tissue of the body including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints. It is also an alternative health option to help alleviate the soft tissue discomfort associated with everyday occupational stresses, muscular overuse and many chronic pain syndromes. It can also greatly reduce muscular patterning, if employed early enough after accidents involing trauma and injury.
Massage Facts
Masssage Therapists work to improve the circulation of the blood through the body and to speed removal of metabolic waste products from muscles.

Others want to relax and reduce stress.
