What is therapeutic massage?

Therapeutic Massage incorporates many techniques where the goal is to restore the body's muscles and systems to well being. In that sense, all massage is therapeutic. Every massage has a physiological effect on the body. Relaxation is a type of therapy.

Sometimes, "therapeutic" massage is used interchangeably with "clinical" or "medical" massage therapy. This type of massage focuses upon specific conditions, such as injury, over-use syndromes, TMD, cancer, fibromyalgia and so on.
