What is massage therapy?
Massage therapy is a form of complementary and integrative medicine. During treatment, your massage therapist uses pressure and movement to manipulate your soft tissue, which includes your muscles, ligaments, tendons, and skin.
Massage therapy alleviates muscle pain and tightness, reduces stress, improves sleep, and benefits your physical and emotional well-being.
