Massage Therapy
Fundamentally, massage is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body. However, anyone who has ever received a massage will agree, it is much more than simply manipulating the tissues of the body. Massage is a wonderfully diverse therapy. It is a healing art. It can be a therapeutic treatment, an approach to holistic wellness, a rehabilitation method, a method of stress reduction, a component of athletic training, or simply an indulgence. Whatever the motivation for seeking out massage, the massage therapy profession has among its approaches and its therapists, incredible diversity with which to address the needs of the client.
Spa Massage
Spa Massage or Relaxation Massage differs from clinical massage in that it tends to be more broad-spectrum in nature. The goals of treatment are not as specific. Typically, the principal goal is simply relaxation.
