Massage is the scientific manipulation of soft tissues of the body, consisting primarily of manual techniques such as applying firm static pressure or firm movable pressure, and moving muscles and body tissues. Massage generally improves blood and lymph flow and reduces muscles tension, relieves spasms, increases limb and joint flexibility, promotes deeper breathing, can assist with tension related headaches and migraines, and promotes faster healing to soft tissue injuries.
