In massage therapy, a massage therapist rubs and kneads the soft tissues of your body. The soft tissues include muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and skin. The massage therapist varies the amount of pressure and movement.
Massage is part of integrative medicine and as a result, medical professionals often recommend it with standard treatment. It can have a positive impact on a wide range of medical conditions.
Studies have found that massage can:
- Help reduce stress
- Lessen pain and muscle tightness
- Increase relaxation
- Improve the work of the immune system
Medical providers may recommend massage therapy to help people deal with pain and stress from conditions such as cancer, heart disease, stomach problems, or fibromyalgia.
