Massage is generally considered part of integrative medicine. It's
increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range
of medical conditions and situations. Massage is a general term for
pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and
ligaments. It may range from light stroking to deep pressure.
Ask your doctor or someone else you trust for a recommendation. Most
states regulate massage therapists through licensing, registration or
certification requirements.
