Today, massage therapy is being offered in businesses, clinics, hospitals, and even airports. It is increasingly being offered, along with standard treatment, for a wide range of medical conditions.
Studies on the benefits of massage show that it is an effective treatment for reducing pain, stress, and muscle tension.

- a reduction of stress effects on the body
