Bodywork
The term bodywork refers to numerous “touch” therapies, including massage,
acupressure, deep tissue manipulation, and movement awareness. Some of these therapies
physically manipulate body structures, while others are based on the manipulation of the
body’s “energy fields.” Bodywork therapies are designed to enhance the
overall functioning and structure of the human body by stimulating circulation, promoting deep
relaxation, and reducing pain. Most bodywork
practitioners combine a variety of techniques to reduce stress incurred in everyday life and
to heal the body.
