Therapeutic massage is a hands-on manipulation of targeted muscle areas. It is believed to enhance every system of the body: immune, circulatory, endocrine, respiratory, nervous, digestive, and lymphatic. When used as part of an individualized therapy program, massage may be used to warm-up the muscles prior to exercise, to relax or stimulate muscles to prevent injury, or be part of rehabilitation therapy for post-op patients.
Suitable for treating both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, massage is effective for increasing circulation, reducing muscle spasms, relieving tension, enhancing muscle tone, promoting healing, and increasing range of motion.
