What are the benefits of massage therapy?
The practice of massage dates back to 3000 BCE or earlier. Medical massage methods have been passed down in multiple cultures for generations to heal injuries, relieve pain, and prevent (or cure) illnesses. The massage industry continues to grow as more studies prove the effectiveness of massage by means of modern science. In most states, including Montana, massage therapists are required to attend school and obtain a medical license to ensure patients receive the most effective treatment possible. Over the past 50 or so years, massage has gained traction in the United States as a medical community. There have been countless cases of medical patients seeing drastic improvements with the addition of regular massage therapy to their routines.
