A body massage typically involves the systematic manipulation of muscles and soft tissues of the body. This can be done manually by a massage therapist or with the use of mechanical devices. The primary goal is to apply pressure, tension, motion, or vibration to various parts of the body, aiming to promote relaxation, alleviate tension, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being. Depending on the technique and preferences, heat may also be applied during the massage process to further relax muscles and enhance therapeutic effects. Overall, whether manual or using machines, body massage is a structured practice intended to benefit both physical and mental health.
