What is Clinical Massage Massage Therapy.
Clinical and wellness massage therapy is a highly specialized and effective health care practice. Effective massage therapy involves the evaluation and treatment of soft tissue dysfunction by manual manipulation in order to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function.

Benefits include:
Massage relaxes muscles, prevents spasms and relieves tension. Massage improves muscle tone and helps prevent or delay atrophy of muscle due to enforced activity. Transverse massage separates and stretches muscle fibers and connective tissue. This prevents as well as breaks down adhesions. Massage may have a sedative or stimulating effect depending upon the type or length of treatment given. Massage helps with digestion and elimination by propelling the contents of the bowels in the natural direction. Massage can aid in the absorption of medications.
