The focus of massage therapy is the soft tissues of the body, like skin, muscles tendons, ligaments and fascia, as well as joint mobilizations. The goal of massage therapy is to decrease pain by decreasing hypertonic muscles to allow alignment and balance. And to break down scar tissue to allow natural movement and function of the tissue. It also happens to be very relaxing. Massage is beneficial for all ages and for all activity levels, from the desk bound to athletes. Infants enjoy massage too and parents can learn how to give their baby a massage at home which is fun and beneficial for everyone involved.
