What is Massage?
Massage is a process of tissue manipulation which, combined
with deep breathing and peaceful surroundings, can result
in deep relaxation and improved health. Pressure is applied
to muscle areas with various techniques. The amount or
depth of pressure is adjusted, depending on the client's
needs and comfort.
Massage is intended to be a pleasurable, relaxing experience
and feedback from the client is vital to achieve the desired
results.
