Therapeutic
massage involves the manipulation of the soft tissue structures
of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle
spasm, and stress; and to promote health and wellness. Therapeutic
massage has become mainstream, appealing to everyone from young
adults to seniors. People are experiencing the therapeutic
benefits of massage and report getting massages mostly to relax,
relieve aches and pains, and help reduce stress. Therapeutic
massage may enhance medical treatment and helps people feel less
anxious, relaxed yet more alert. Research shows it reduces the
heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation
and lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and
increases endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.
