Massage (derived from the French
massage "friction of kneading,"
possibly from Arabic massa "to
touch, feel, handle" or from Latin
massa "mass, dough" is a
treatment and practice of
manipulation of the soft body
tissues with physical, functional,
i.e. mechanical,
medical/therapeutical, and in
some cases emotional purposes
and goals.
Massage involves acting and
manipulating the patient's body
with pressure (structured,
unstructured, stationary, and/or
moving), tension, motion, or
vibration done manually or with
mechanical aids. Target tissues
may include muscles, tendons,
ligaments, skin, joints, or other
connective tissue, as well as,
lymphatic vessels, and/or organs
of the gastrointestinal system.
Massage can be applied with the
hands, fingers, elbows, forearm,
and feet, as far as there are over
80 different types of massage. The
most cited reasons for introducing
a massage was patient demand
and clinical effectiveness
