Massage therapists use their hands in long smooth strokes, kneading motions, and in other ways to manipulate the soft tissues of the body.
Massage therapy improves circulation by bringing oxygen and other nutrients to body tissues. It relieves muscle tension and pain, increases flexibility and mobility, and helps clear lactic acid and other waste, which reduces pain and stiffness in muscles and joints. Chiropractors take care of the structure, like the foundation of the house, and massage therapists take care of the siding and doors.
