What is Massage?
Massage is a form of touch therapy that involves applying pressure to the muscles or soft tissues to reduce stress and pain. A massage may bring on a "healing reaction"; this can be a short time of mild discomfort that shows you that healing is going on. Be sure to ask what to expect after a session.
