Massage therapists typically use their hands and fingers, forearms, elbows and even their feet to apply different practices. When a tranquilizing touch brushes the skin, impulses sent to the brain relax the body releasing endorphins. Benefits of massage therapy are enjoyed by people of all ages: the ill, the injured, and the stressed. It can be used to treat both acute and chronic stages, but the core strength of massage therapy lies in prevention.
