Massage therapy is a type of healthcare that involves the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body to improve health and wellbeing. Massage therapists use techniques such as kneading, stroking, and pressing to apply pressure to the muscles and other soft tissues of the body. Massage therapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including stress, pain, and muscle tension. It can also be used to improve circulation, promote relaxation, and improve flexibility and range of motion. Massage therapy is typically performed by a trained therapist who uses their hands, fingers, and sometimes tools such as massage balls or rollers to apply pressure to the body. It can be done in a spa setting, at a massage clinic, or in a healthcare setting such as a hospital or physical therapy office.
