Massage is the rubbing or kneading of the body's soft tissues.[1] Massage techniques are commonly applied with hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearms, feet or a device.[2][3] The purpose of massage is generally for the treatment of body stress or pain.[4][5][6] In European countries, a person professionally trained to give massages is traditionally known as a masseur (male) or masseuse (female). In the United States, these individuals are often referred to as "massage therapists".[7] In some provinces of Canada, they are called "registered massage therapists."[8][9]
In professional settings, clients are treated while lying on a massage table, sitting in a massage chair, or lying on a mat on the floor.[10] There are many different modalities in the massage industry, including (but not limited to): deep tissue, manual lymphatic drainage, medical, sports, structural integration, Swedish, Thai and trigger point.[11]
