Therapeutic massage is aimed at attaining a therapeutic benefit and, in order to achieve palpable results, it is recommended to use it as part of a package. Therapeutic massage is not necessarily an independent form of therapy in itself, as it is intended for relaxation to a very small extent.
In most cases, this type of massage is recommended by a healthcare specialist and can be used as part of a broader treatment plan, such as physiotherapy.
Those who can request this type of massage as a self-standing therapy are: athletes, people who perform intense physical labour, as well as those who spend many hours working in an office and whose muscles are tense.
Some of the benefits of therapeutic massage are:
⦁ eliminating deep stress
⦁ recovery (in minor cases)
⦁ muscle tension relief
⦁ a general state of physical and mental well-being.
