Possible Health Benefits of Massage Therapy: A Look at the Research
Massage therapy has been found to provide numerous potential health benefits. Research has primarily focused on the effects of massage therapy in medical settings for specific health concerns. However, massage therapy is also offered in non-clinical settings such as spas for relaxation and muscle health (Cleveland Clinic, 2021). If you are considering incorporating massage therapy into your medical or wellness care plan, it is recommended that you consult with your doctor to determine what may be appropriate for your specific needs.
