Therapeutic massage
can be an important
part of a personal health and fitness program. Massage has powerful
healing qualities. It can be helpful in the restoration of health and
recovery from injury, but massage is also the perfect wellness medicine
because you
don’t have to be sick or hurt to use it.
Recent studies suggest that massage, as complementary therapy, can
facilitate growth and development, enhance attentiveness and learning,
lessen pain, reduce stress and alleviate symptoms of autoimmune and immune
disorders. Some of the specific conditions which have been successfully
treated with therapeutic massage are:

Therapeutic massage is the manipulation of soft tissue by
trained therapists for the purpose of facilitating growth, reducing pain,
increasing alertness, diminishing depression and enhancing immune
function. It is one of the oldest forms of treatment in the world,
described in China during the second century B.C. and soon after in India
and Egypt.
