About Body treatments.
Therapeutic massage is an ancient healing art defined as the systematic stroking, kneading and manipulation of the body's tissues for the purpose of relieving physical, mental and emotional infirmities. Almost every culture has developed its own form of massage, and today it is an accepted element of many physical rehabilitation programmes.
"Bodywork" is a general term that is used to refer to the many healing techniques integrating motion, massage, or other forms of manipulation of the soft tissue. Massage involves acting on and manipulating the body with pressure – structured, unstructured, stationary, or moving – tension, motion, or vibration, done manually or with mechanical aids.
