The Massage Therapy Scope of Practice
"The practice of massage therapy is the assessment of the soft tissue and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissues and joints by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physcial function, or relieve pain." Massage Therapy Act, 1991
|
Massage Therapy is a natural approach to healing, and it affects the systems of the body; musculo-skeletal, integumentary, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, endocrine, and nervous systems. People who are affected by arthritis, injuries, stress, pain or tingling in arms or legs, joint restrictions, poor posture, painful or tight muscles, fluid retention, and women who are pregnant, are all great candidates for massage therapy.
Massage Therapy is both a preventative and a recovery approach to maintaining and increasing muscle and joint function while reducing pain. It is an excellent treatment on its own, but can be utilized greatly in congunction with other therapies such as acupuncture and chiropractic as well as excercise and rehabilition (from injury, surgery and disease).
