What is Massage Therapy?
Massage Therapy is a profession by which the practitioner applies manual techniques (by use of the hands or body) to the client/patient's body. The technique called "massage" uses soft tissue manipulation, which includes holding, causing movement, and/or applying pressure to the body.
This type of therapy, along with other adjunctive therapies with a series of actions, aims at achieving the increase of health and wellness with the intention of positively affecting the health and well-being of the client/patient.

Beneficial Effects of Massage
- Dilates blood vessels, improving the circulation and relieving congestion throughout the body.
- Increases the number of red blood cells especially in cases of anemia.
Acts as a mechanical cleanser, stimulating lymph circulation and hastening the elimination of wastes and toxic debris.
- Relaxes the muscles spasm and relieves tension.
- Increases blood supply and nutrition to muscles without adding to their load of toxic lactic acid, produced through voluntary muscles contraction. Massage thus helps to prevent buildup of harmful fatigue products resulting from strenuous exercises or injury.
- Improves muscle movement and helps prevent or delay muscular atrophy resulting from forced inactivity.
- May have a sedative, stimulating or even exhausting effect on the nervous system depending on the type and length of massage treatment given.
- Improves general circulation, increases nutrition of the tissues. It is accompanied or followed by an increased interchange of substances between the blood and tissue cells heightening tissue metabolism.
- Increases the excretion (via the kidneys) of fluids and waste products of proteins, inorganic phosphorous and salt in normal individuals.
- Improves circulation and nutrition of joints and hastens the elimination of harmful deposits. It helps lessen inflammation and swelling in joints and so alleviates pain.
- Helps to reduce edema (or swelling) of the extremities.
- Disperses the edema following injury to ligaments and tendons, lessens pain and facilitates movement.
