Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of the soft tissues of the body to achieve various therapeutic outcomes. Massage has many diverse physiological effects which are primarily due to the therapist's application of various stimulation and mechanical forces to the body tissues. The different movements can physically stretch muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia, encourage the circulation through the tissues, inhibit muscular spasms and be either sedating or stimulating to the nervous system. The therapeutic use of massage by a massage therapist affects all the systems of the body in particular, the muscular, circulatory, lymphatic (immune) and nervous systems.
