Massage therapy is a type of treatment in which a trained and licensed professional works on the soft tissues of your body — muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and skin — using varying degrees of pressure and movement.  Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension.
