The benefits of massage therapy go far beyond relaxation.

While we’re used to seeing massages associated with high-end spas and ‘getting away,’ the benefits of massage therapy are more health-focused than they ever were aesthetic or luxurious.

Massage is a far-reaching term that covers pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Techniques can range from gentle to deep pressure.
