Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a manual therapy that involves the manipulation of soft tissues in the body such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. It is performed by a licensed massage therapist who uses their hands, fingers, forearms, and sometimes elbows to apply pressure to the body.

​

Massage therapy is used for various purposes such as reducing pain, improving circulation, reducing stress, and improving overall physical function. It is typically performed on a massage table or chair, and the therapist may use massage oils or creams to help their hands glide smoothly over the skin and to reduce friction.

​

The length and intensity of a massage therapy session can vary depending on the individual's needs and goals. Some sessions may last just a few minutes, while others can last up to an hour or more. The therapist will typically assess the individual's needs and work with them to create a customized treatment plan that addresses their specific goals and concerns.

​

Massage therapy can provide numerous physical and mental health benefits, including reduced stress and anxiety, improved sleep, and reduced muscle pain and stiffness. It is important to consult with a licensed massage therapist to determine if massage therapy is right for you and to ensure that the therapist you choose is properly trained and licensed to provide massage therapy services.
