A general term for a range of therapeutic approaches with roots in both Eastern and Western cultures for over 5000 years. It involves the practice of manipulating a person's muscles and other soft tissue with the intent of improving a person's well-being or health, and may include, but not be limited to, effleurage, deep tissue, percussion, vibration, and joint movement. All forms of massage use oil. Treatments restore relaxation and peace while reducing or ousting problems. Massage is now incorporated in other therapies such as Acupuncture, Rolfing (tissue massage), Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Shiatsu.
Athletes and dancers have regular massage to relieve stiffness and to expel toxic waste accumulated after strenuous activity. Also now used to alleviate the discomforts experienced by cancer patients.
