What is Massage Therapy?
 
-  the systematic and scientific manual manipulation of muscle & soft tissue of the body.   
-  treatment promotes relaxation, provides relief from pain and stress and promotes a feeling of well-      being and balance.
-  can promote the restoration of homeostasis (the bodies ability to regulate its inner environment).

The outcome of the massage can be invigorating and re-energizing and also soothing and relaxing, this is dependent of the needs of the client and the techniques and rates and rhythm chosen.  

 
Whats involved?
Working towards physical and psychological well-being, massage can be structured or unstructured, sitting, side laying or laying on your stomach or back.
