Therapeutic massage refers to a type of massage used for therapeutic effects and health benefits. The best definition of therapeutic massage is the systematic manipulation of the tissues using different types of techniques such as rubbing, kneading, pressing, picking up, tapping for therapeutic effects by increasing circulation, relieving pain. It has a positive effect on the physical and mental state of individuals.
Therapeutic massage adapts its techniques in order to stretch and lengthen the connective tissue structures which may have come under stress or strain due to repetitive movements or everyday activities. One of the aims of therapeutic massage is to encourage and enhance the venous blood return which leads to a breakdown of metabolic waste within the body which then leads to a faster recovery.
