Massage therapy is a
practice that dates back thousands of years. There are
many types of massage therapy; all involve manipulating
the muscles and other soft tissues of the body. In the
United States, massage therapy is sometimes part of
conventional medicine. In other instances, it is part of
complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). This
Backgrounder provides a general overview of massage
therapy used as CAM and suggests some resources you can
use to learn more.
People use massage therapy as CAM for a variety of
health-related purposes, from treating specific diseases
and conditions to general wellness.
Scientists do not fully know what changes occur in the
body during massage, whether they influence health, and,
if so, how. The National Center for Complementary and
Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) is sponsoring studies to
answer these questions and identify the purposes for
which massage may be most helpful.
There appear to be few risks to massage therapy if it is
used appropriately and provided by a trained massage
professional.
Tell your health care providers about any CAM therapy
you are considering or using, including massage therapy.
This helps to ensure safe and coordinated care.
