Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage is an age-old remedy and health practice. It can be found in all major civilizations throughout history and the present. The healing systems of many cultures use hands-on therapy to soothe aches and pains and to facilitate the body’s own healing powers. Commonly accepted for general relaxation, promoting circulation, and relieving muscular tension, therapeutic massage has many applications and variations that can benefit clients from infancy through their senior years.
