Massage Services
Massage is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body (tendons, ligaments, and fascia) for therapeutic or relaxation purposes.
Through varying techniques, the body can be aided to improve circulation and tenderness and assist in relaxation. Therefore, ensuring that the whole body (skeletal, muscular, lymphatic, and nervous systems) will benefit from the promotion of general wellness and healing.
There are several types of massage that focus on various parts of the body or healing approaches. Massage is the practice of rubbing and kneading the body using hands. During a massage, a massage therapist will apply gentle or strong pressure to the muscles and joints of the body to ease pain and tension. A massage therapist is a person trained in giving massages.
