AB Massage  is  one  of  the  oldest  forms  of  healing  techniques.  Using  therapeutic  touch,  the  body's  tissues  are  manipulated  to  reduce  muscle  spasm,  promote  relaxation,  improve  blood  flow,  and  increase  venous  drainage.  The  scope  of  massage  theories,  techniques,  and  effects  is  broad.  This  chapter  addresses  massage  techniques  that  are  most  frequently  used  in  the  treatment  of  musculoskeletal  conditions.
