What is Therapeutic Massage?

Therapeutic Massage is the mobilisation of soft tissue (such as muscle, fascia and body fluids) to restore normal systemic and biomechanical or functional use.

It can be used to assist in the treatment of most musculo-skeletal and associated problems, and regular treatment results in improved circulatory, lymphatic and neurological functioning.
