Describe a manipulative or body-based therapy. Include a discussion of its effectiveness and validity
?Massage therapy is the manipulation of muscle and connective tissue to improve muscle function, reduce pain, or promote relaxation.

Massage is often integrated into conventional physical therapy, although some massage therapists may incorrectly suggest that massage is a valid treatment for a wide range of medical conditions.
