Therapeutic Massage

Both art and science come together in the practice of Therapeutic Massage.

Therapeutic Massage is a combination of science and art, i.e. science of anatomy and psychology and art of professional touch. It is necessary for the student to understand the systematic application of touch, stretching, percussion, compression and all other techniques that make it necessary for holistic comprehension of the entire human body, including the skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Also included are the structures in the external tissue.

However, it is difficult for medical professionals such as physicians, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and athletic trainers to include such a time and labor intensive practice as massage into their own duties and treatment regimens.
