Massage Therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissue (the muscles, connective tissue, ligaments, fascia, and joints) of the body through intelligent, hands-on touch. Massage therapy acts on the muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems to effectively decrease pain and stress, effectively detox the body, and increase general wellbeing. Massage therapy can improve circulation and lymphatic movement, increase muscle function, help to rehabilitate the body after injury or surgery, and increase the mind-body connection.
