Therapists manipulate your muscles, connective tissues, and joints to cause a healing response. This helps to increase mobility, reduce pain, improve circulation and lymph node drainage. A sense of deep relaxation is often part of a good massage.

The pressure applied can vary anywhere from extremely gentle to quite intense. Some clients find intense pressure helpful in releasing tension, while others prefer gentle, soothing techniques. How much pressure a client wants can also vary from day to day, depending on his or her stress level and other factors.
