| Massage therapy involves the assessment
and manipulation of soft tissues for a therapeutic effect. This advanced
hands-on treatment can be preventative or restorative through promoting
the healing process, improving body alignment and helping to relieve
pain. Massage can help alleviate the soft tissue discomfort associated
with everyday stress, muscular overuse and many chronic pain syndromes. (As adapted from the OMTA) |

compensable injuries. These statistics account for the approximately

in reducing the economic and human costs (e.g., depression, loss of
