Massage Therapy

Massage therapy allows soft tissue like muscle or ligaments and tendons to heal and relax. It is also used for improved circulation of blood and lymphatics and to decrease anxiety. By kneading and stretching the body, therapists allow muscles and ligaments to stretch, as well as increase blood flow to the parts of the body being massaged.
