Touch therapy is a form of unconventional and a traditional form of therapy that provides relief from ailments by manipulating the soft tissues of the body. Typically, touch therapy is also known as massage therapy and is being followed widely.
Clinical massage is a form of touch therapy apart from the medical and orthopaedic massage systems. Clinical massage is also individual-centric and is largely directed towards treating impairments of the musculo-skeletal system. Components of clinical massage include a thorough understanding of the body physiology and anatomy, acquiring skills required for palpitation, an ability to assess conditions competently, in obtaining a detailed history of the patient and in having proper visual observational skills.
A massage therapist is considered as one of the care-providers and it would be useful for a massage therapist to perform massage as required for a clinical condition. As touch therapy or massage therapy is driven towards alleviating clinical conditions, a massage therapist should understand the components of the clinical massage.
