Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is a hands-on healthcare practice involving the manipulation of soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments) to promote relaxation, reduce pain, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being. It is used in clinical, wellness, and sports settings to address physical and mental health concerns through various techniques like Swedish, deep tissue, and trigger point therapy.
Developers should learn about massage therapy to manage work-related physical strain from prolonged sitting, repetitive motions, and stress, which can lead to issues like carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, and tension headaches. It is particularly useful for improving posture, reducing burnout, and maintaining physical health in high-stress tech environments, supporting long-term career sustainability.
