What is Massage Therapy & how does it work?

Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of the body's soft tissues—including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, and ligaments—using hands, fingers, elbows, or forearms to promote relaxation and health.

The main purpose of massage therapy is to ease physical pain, reduce stress, and promote overall relaxation and healing by manipulating the body's soft tissues.
