Massage therapy involves the manipulation of muscles and soft tissues in the body through techniques such as kneading, rubbing, and applying pressure. It is used to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and promote relaxation by improving blood circulation and releasing tension. Additionally, massage therapy can aid in the recovery from injuries, enhance flexibility, and improve overall well-being.

Massage may be part of a comprehensive treatment plan to address various musculoskeletal issues and enhance patient recovery.
