<\/a>In professional settings, massage therapy involves the client being treated while lying on a massage table, sitting upright in a massage chair, or lying on a pad on the floor. Except for modalities such as Acupressure, Shiatsu, Tui Na, Thai Massage, or Barefoot Deep Tissue, the massage subject is generally unclothed or partially unclothed, also referred to as disrobed. The patient may also\u00a0be “draped” with towels or sheets depending upon their preference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What is Massage Therapy ?

<\/a>Massage Therapy is the practice of applying structured or unstructured pressure, tension, motion, or vibration \u2014 manually or with mechanical aids \u2014 to the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, joints, lymphatic vessels, organs of the gastrointestinal system to achieve a beneficial theraputic response. “Massage” as opposed to “massage therapy” is normally practiced by non-licensed individuals who are not qualified to provide theraputic care and who normally practice simple “relaxation” body rub procedures. Massage therapy is performed in Estonia\u00a0by\u00a0professional Massage Therapists who are registered with EMMCA and licensed to practice massage therapy with the designation of\u00a0Registered Massage Therapist or\u00a0R.M.T.\u00a0 Various advanced forms of massage therapy and soft tissue techniques\u00a0may\u00a0also\u00a0be used\u00a0by other Healthcare practitioners such as Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Physical Therapists.\u00a0 Unqalified masseurs without licensing have not met the professional educational and ethical standards set by EMMCA and may not be competent in\u00a0 providing theraputic\u00a0care or treatment.<\/p>\n
