As a Health Service Provider…

Massage Therapists are involved in the working of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasms, and stress; and to promote health and wellness. They massage clients, using manual techniques and other therapies, to positively affect the health and well being of the client.

Massage therapists apply alcohol, oils, or other rubbing compounds. They then massage the body using various techniques that encourage blood circulation, relax contracted muscles, or to relieve other conditions. Massage therapists give steam or dry heat, ultraviolet or infrared, or water treatments at the request of clients or at the instruction of physicians. Increasingly, physicians are prescribing therapeutic massage to help in the healing process of their patients.
