		<description><![CDATA[Most people wouldn’t think that a relaxing massage can actually help you lose weight. But, after hearing the reasons why massage therapy can help take off the pounds, the conclusion should seem obvious, especially to those who read this blog and our Website regularly.
Indeed, after reading this post on Dietivity.com, I realized that we had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When getting a massage, most people focus on the bigger areas, such as the back, neck, shoulders and arms. Face massage doesn’t seem to be too common, but, in fact, there is a lot of information out there about it. Indeed, the term gets 2,120,000 hits on Google, and there are numerous instructional videos on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week we finished up a series of articles on medical massage therapy, and I can think of no better transition than to go from medical massage therapy to a medical condition that massage therapy has been demonstrated to help.

		<description><![CDATA[We’ve been writing over the past few weeks about medical massage therapy and the difficulty of defining what it is exactly. While we reached a fairly bland definition last week, what’s more important is that now, more than ever, people are beginning to use massage therapy for medical situations and in medical environments.

		<description><![CDATA[We wrote last week about the difficulty of defining medical massage therapy, as its definition can vary state-by-state or by municipality.
Indeed, the lack of a national or professional definition leaves medical massage therapy&#8217;s determination very nebulous. Some may claim they are receiving medical massage therapy, paying their therapist directly for alleviation of stress, depression, pain, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We talk about the therapeutic and medicinal benefits of massage therapy so often that it seems important to actually define what medical massage therapy is exactly. The hard part, of course, is that medical massage therapy lacks clear definition across, and within, America&#8217;s 50 states. As we’ll explore in a series of blogs, there are [...]]]></description>
