Therapeutic Massage Therapy is the assessment and treatment of the soft tissue and joints of the body with the objective of preventing physical dysfunction and pain. Treatment can include myofascial techniques and joint mobilization, the application of meridian therapy and reflex point stimulation in addition to the application of therapy based exercise. Each aspect of a patient’s evaluation and therapy is implemented to help rehabilitate, maintain and augment their physical function while helping to relieve pain. ( Massage Therapy Act 1991 )

When combined effectively, Massage Therapy and Manual Muscle Testing can improve overall health and well-being by positively influencing the orthopaedic, muscular, neurological and circulatory systems. Physical function can also be improved with the implementation of progressive resistance exercise thereby reducing a patient’s physical dysfunction and pain.
