It is typically performed by trained and licensed massage therapists, who use their knowledge of anatomy, physiology and kinesiology to develop treatment plans for their clients. The goal of clinical massage therapy is to reduce pain and improve function in the affected area of the body. It can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, such as chronic pain, headaches, tension, and muscle strains, and can be an important part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program.
