By using various touch techniques the therapist can intitiate changes in the body, mind, & emotions via the manipulation of soft tissue (muscle & fascia) producing a positive impact that directs the recipient towards healing and greater wellness. There are both short term and long term effect of massage therapy. Short term effects are those that occur during the session lasting for brief period post session lasting hours or a day while the long term can last a few days to a week. Regular (monthly or bi-monthly) treatments can extend these effects and help manage ongoing chronic issues (pain or discomfort associated with arthritis, injury, poor posture, fibromyalgia, etc.).
