Therapeutic massage involves manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm and stress. It also may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injury and illness. Therapeutic massage comes in many forms, including Swedish, a gentle, relaxing massage; pressure point therapy for specific diseases and injuries from trigger point and myotherapy to shiatsu and acupressure; and sports massage, focusing on muscle groups relevant to the particular sport. Therapeutic massages can be given under a number of circumstances, from a 15-minute massage of the shoulders and back while the fully clothed recipient sits in a special chair, to an hour-long, head-to-toe massage on a padded massage table to maintain health and massage aches and pains. Insurance companies and managed care providers are increasingly recognizing the cost and health advantages of massage therapy and are covering it more often.
