Massage is a term which is used to signify a group of systematic and scientific manipulations of bodily tissues which are best performed with the hands, “for the purpose of effecting the nerves and muscular systems and the general circulation”.

Manipulation therapy works for people of all age groups, from infants to elderly, and from all walks of life, from weekend or competitive sports to home gardeners or overworked executives. Manipulative treatment is used to treat a wide range of health problems, the most common of which being stress-related tension. Cancer-related malaise, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, low back pain, immune suppression, spinal cord injury, autism, and post-operative surgery have all been shown to benefit from manipulative therapy.
