What is Therapeutic Massage Therapy?
Therapeutic massage is one of the oldest forms of medical therapy. It blends together ancient medical traditions and beliefs from Chinese, Egyptian, Greek and Roman cultures. The techniques that are most commonly used now take the teachings from the past and fuse them with all of the medical knowledge we have available to us today. It is a blending of two cultures. The ancient East meets the modern West.
Therapeutic Message is used all over the world to treat a wide variety of health conditions in people of all ages. It is used in hospitals, intensive care units and health spas. It is an effective treatment for osteoarthritis, back pain, nerve damage, fibromyalgia, stroke, and some forms of cancer. It is used to treat sports and accident-related injuries and to prevent premature birthing complications. Because there are so many different types of massage available, it is really the perfect treatment for every body.
