Massage therapy is a form of soft tissue mobilisation with hands. It involves kneading, pressing, rubbing, stroking or squeezing in a systematic or specific way.

​

The massage can be applied with varying degree of pressure. A deep or light massage pressure is applied on your body depending on the purpose of the massage which is determined by the therapist after your physical assessment.

​

Massage therapy is particularly useful for the purpose of relieving:

• pain

• tight muscles

• tight scar tissues

• swelling

• tender points

​

Additional beneficial effects are improvement of blood and lymph (colorless  fluid) flow.

​

Massage therapy is often used as a combination with other therapies.
