Hire the best massage therapists in Newport

Therapeutic massage is used to help manage a health problem and improve well-being. This wellness profession involves manipulating the soft tissues of the body. Therapeutic massage is considered to be the simplest and oldest type of treatment. This therapy has been practiced regularly in most Eastern and Western cultures. It was one of the main treatments used by Roman and Greek physicians to relieve pain. Massage therapy has lost some of its value and status with the unsavoury image developed by massage therapy parlours. However, as people came to understand that massage can minimize illness and promote rest, this image faded. As people learned more about the benefits of therapeutic massage and its beneficial effects against illness, it became more appropriate and accepted. Therapeutic massage is now used in a variety of treatment models, including intense treatment models for children, elderly men and women, premature babies and clients with cancer, AIDS or stroke. Most hospitals offer therapeutic massage sessions. This type of massage is frequently offered in health care facilities and drug treatment clinics.
