Massage therapy focuses on relaxing, stimulating and healing the body. A session usually involves applying pressure to different parts of the body via the hands and arms while the customer lies on a special massage table. Some specific healing massage therapies, such as sports massage, can be done sitting down or in a massage chair. A therapist might also apply oil, use calm music and incense to enhance the overall experience.

Massage therapy has few serious risks if it is used appropriately by a trained massage professional. There are many different types of massage therapy ranging from shiatsu massage therapy to swedish massage to deep tissue massage. Each of these types employ a range of tools and techniques to help relax the customer.
