What Is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is a hands-on technique that involves manipulating the body’s soft tissues—muscles, connective tissue, tendons, and ligaments—to enhance function, aid healing, and promote relaxation. At Levan Physical Therapy, massage therapy is used as a clinical tool to complement your physical therapy treatment plan, offering both physical and mental health benefits.
