Therapeutic Massage
Manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for the
purpose of normalizing those tissues and consists of
manual techniques that include applying fixed and
movable pressure to the muscle with a contrast of light and deep pressure. Focused on areas where tension is held, such as tight shoulders, a stiff neck, or lower back pain. Therapeutic massage can help relieve muscle and joint pain, reduce stiffness, increase blood circulation, and promote overall well-being.
