Massage: The application of soft-tissue manipulation techniques to the body, generally intended to reduce stress and fatigue while improving circulation. The many variations of massage account for several different techniques.
Massage promotes well-being and natural healing through deep relaxation, enhanced circulation of blood and lymph, and improved joint mobility.
Massage therapy can improve sleep patterns, eliminate toxins, stimulate the immune system, and reduce scar tissue.
