Introduction to Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy, also called "bodywork," is a type of treatment during which a massage
practitioner applies pressure and movement techniques to the client's body. Massage can
be used for overall relaxation or it can serve as a more targeted treatment for chronic
pain or specific injuries.
Massage is popular throughout the world as a long term cost-effective approach to
managing stress and maintaining the body's physical health.
If you have ever received or observed seated massage, then you are familiar with the specially-built massage chair used for this. In contrast, when you go for a treatment at a massage office or clinic, a massage table is used. The massage table gives practitioners better access to the different body areas and allows for more thorough bodywork. Table massage sessions usually last 60 or 90 minutes.
