The revitalization of massage therapy,
an ancient
and
long-respected
healing art ...
is a reflection of changing
trends in modern medicine from the treatment
of illness and increasing specialization to the maintenance of good
health and a preventive approach to health care.
One of the most talked about and written about alternative health
care modalities, massage therapy currently has qualified practitioners
offering their services in a wide variety of settings including private
clinics and offices; health clubs, fitness centers and Ys; chiropractors'
offices; nursing homes and hospitals; spas, salons and resorts; on
site in the workplace and even in the home.
Far beyond simply feeling good -- though that is a valuable end in
itself, in a stress and anxiety-filled world -- massage has an impressive
range of therapeutic effects and benefits.
