massage
A location for professional services in which pressure and manipulation is applied to bodily tissues for well being and relaxation.
A massage parlor or other massage site is a place where professional masseurs use specialized techniques to manipulate and apply pressure to the muscles, skin, and connective tissues of the body in order to promote well-being, relaxation, and good feelings. The location can be part of a larger spa, hotel, residential facility, or medical center, or it can be an individual retail establishment.
The service uses manual pressure and movement on bodily tissues for relaxation or well-being. It concerns the professional activity rather than one named massage tradition.
A massage site can be a separate business or part of a larger facility. Being located within a medical center does not require every massage session to be a medical procedure.
