Definition
of Massage and Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage involves
the manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to
prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm, and
stress; and, to promote health and wellness. AMTA defines
Massage as, "a manual soft tissue manipulation that
includes holding, causing movement, and/or applying pressure
to the body."
Massage therapy is " a
profession in which the practitioner applies manual
techniques, and may apply adjunctive therapies, with the
intention of positively affecting the health and well-being of
the client." (AMTA)
Massage therapy improves
functioning of the circulatory, lymphatic, muscular, skeletal,
and nervous systems and may improve the rate at which the body
