Massage is the practice of applying structured pressure, tension,
motion, or vibration - manually or with mechanical aids - to the
soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue,
tendons, ligaments, joints and lymphatic vessels, to achieve a beneficial
response. A form of therapy, massage can be applied to parts of
the body or successively to the whole body, to heal injury, relieve
psychological stress, manage pain, and improve circulation. Where
massage is used for its physical and psychological benefits, it
may be termed "therapeutic massage therapy" or manipulative therapy.
