Much can be said for the art of massage. It has the ability to relieve tension and pain that we all experience at one time or another.
Massage takes many forms.
The first form one visualizes is the clinical variety, in which we are treated by licensed professionals in a sterile, formal atmosphere. This treatment usually follows an accident or instance in which we have overworked one or more areas of the body. Massage Therapy is recognized by most members of the Medical Profession to be beneficial in the treatment of a variety of conditions. This type of massage is often accompanied by treatment derived from a variety of devices such as ultra sound, infrared heat, moist and dry heat pads, gentle to moderate electrical stimulation of the nerves and muscles in the affected area, and in some cases, joint manipulation. Techniques and suggested forms of massage which we share on this page will generally not be those described as being clinical Massage Therapy, and is not intended to replace or cause anyone to select any one form of treatment over any other.
