Introduction to Massage
I am a hundred percent sure that all of you are familiar with the term “massage”. After all, massage is probably the oldest and simplest existing form of medical care that it has been applied for relaxation, fitness, and other health purposes since time immemorial and up to these days.
On the most basic, massage is applied as a hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, including the muscles, connective tissues, ligaments, joints and tendons. It is highly considered as a form of medical care with the notion that it can help lessen the development of painful muscular patterning. It also helps to lessen the discomfort on the soft tissues associated with the everyday and occupational stresses, muscular overuse and chronic pain syndromes.
