Medical Massage Schools and Careers Guide
What is medical massage?
Medical massage is orientation rather than a particular set of techniques. It is not general relaxation massage; it is anatomically precise and patient specific. The medical massage therapist combines education, training, experience and intuition to create an integrative manual-therapy approach to reducing the patient's soft-tissue related complaints. Using the term medical massage, rather than therapeutic massage is the first step toward describing the techniques and goals as one moves from a relaxation paradigm to a therapeutic, corrective and restorative paradigm. It seems to be accepted without protest from the allopathic medical practictioners.
