THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MASSAGE and MEDICAL MASSAGE:
The definition of massage is: The manipulation of the soft tissue of the human body with the hands, arms, elbows, or feet.
The definition of medical massage is: The application of physical medicine by a qualified massage therapist who practices in accordance with the standards of the American Medical Association, the applied physical medicine being deemed medically necessary and ordered by a physician who has diagnosed the patient and provided a treatment plan via prescription.
A therapist that practices a medical based massage uses palpation, active/passive range of motion testing, orthopedic special testing, as well as visual observation to provide a treatment protocol and assess the patient's progress. The therapist also provides documentation and may communicate with the treating physician and your insurance company. The therapist has had extensive training in these areas above and beyond what is required for state licensing.
Medical Massage is not a general treatment. Rather, Medical Massage Therapy is applied as a specific manual therapy to the areas relating to the diagnoses provided by the primary care physician. - Medical Massage therapy is delivered to an anatomical region of the patient's body based upon soft tissue and joint exam findings and various other assessment procedures.
- Medical Massage treatment plans involve several progressive steps or stages of manual therapy treatment whose goal is to correct abnormal conditions affecting the muscle-skeletal system while reducing or eliminating pain.
- Medical Massage adopts the medical terminology, medical techniques and medical protocols used by the traditional allopathic, medical systems of health care.

Why Massage Therapy Is So Important Today
"The stress of daily life is making us sick. Our bodies, originally designed to be able to survive in a violent and dangerous wilderness, have not yet adapted to the more subtle pressures of urban survival. The consequences are felt in an imbalance between our Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems.
Our Sympathetic Nervous System is the source of the "fight-or-flight" instinct. This "ready-for-battle" condition is designed to provide a quick response to a short-term crisis, and then disengage so the body can return to a normal, relaxed physical state maintained by the Parasympathetic Nervous System. The problem is that when a person lives with performance pressure, relationship stress, environmental stress, and other anxiety-producing conditions, the Sympathetic maintains a "battle ready" physical state constantly. The return to normal never happens."
Robin Sands describes this situation vividly:
"When people are ruled by their Sympathetic Nervous Systems life slowly becomes more and more uncomfortable. It is imperceptible at first because all they are aware of is the hardship and the oppressive situation, or the thrill and the adrenaline rush. Over time... it will slowly become more and more difficult to relax and give in to the Parasympathetic. Once caught in this vicious circle, sleep and appetite become affected... Later on, backache may appear, or migraine, repetitive strain injury or peptic ulcer. The list goes on and on, and does not include the different types of mental illness that can result from this unfortunate situation."
"To the extent that the Sympathetic is dominant... life will feel tighter, harder, more constricted. Alternatively, life may feel dangerously dramatic, explosive, despairing... Various anxiety states will be felt all too keenly. These can be experienced as numbness, palpitations, stomach knots or less easily definable but equally unpleasant sensations... If stress is continually layered on top of this block, emotional and digestive disorders can develop. Massage breaks the stress cycle and brings the parasympathetic nervous system into play, providing natural relief for a host of stress-related disorders. The direct stimulation of the body through massage mimics the effects of the Parasympathetic, throwing the switch on the nervous system to re-engage the normal relaxed state."
"As it relaxes muscles, blood vessels and internal organs, so the flow of all body fluids becomes easier, smoother, fuller. The intestines expand and the peristalsis (those gurgles of digestion) begins to process the waste products that the Sympathetic has created. It slows the heartbeat and deepens and softens breathing. It calms and changes the brain's waves and patterns, bringing the quieter, more expansive states of mind that are so conducive to imagination and creative thinking... Everywhere that has been overstretched gets pulled back into line. Everything that has been contracted, begins to expand. And this expansion is experienced as pleasure." ("The Power of the Parasympathetic Nervous System" in _Stress News_, Oct. 2002)
