Massage therapy
Leading professional massage associations have
defined massage as systems of structured palpation or
movement of the soft tissue of the body, including
holding, causing movement, and/or applying pressure to the body.

adjunctive therapies, with the intention of positively affecting the
health and well-being of the client. -
