AUnveiling the Mechanisms for Pain Relief and Beauty Enhancement
The term “massage therapy” encompasses many different techniques (see box for examples).
In general, therapists press, rub, and otherwise manipulate the muscles and other soft tissues
of the body.
They most often use their hands and fingers, but may use their forearms, elbows, or feet. Massage therapists work in a variety of settings, including private offices, hospitals, nursing homes, studios, and sport and fitness facilities. Some also travel to patients’ homes or workplaces. They usually try to provide a calm, soothing environment. Therapists usually ask new patients about symptoms, medical history, and desired results. They may also perform an evaluation through touch, to locate painful or tense areas and determine how much pressure to apply.Typically, the patient lies on a table, either in loose-fitting clothing or undressed (covered with a sheet, except for the area being massaged). The therapist may use oil or lotion to reduce friction on the skin. Sometimes, people receive massage therapy while sitting in a chair.
