Massage Therapy
Massage therapy involves hands-on manipulation of the body’s tissues including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints, to help decrease pain and improve mobility. By increasing circulation and the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the body, massage is able to promote the body’s natural healing process.
