Bodywork is a type of physical therapy that focuses on manipulating and massaging different parts of the body to promote healing, relaxation, and overall well-being. It can involve various techniques such as deep tissue massage, reflexology, acupressure, and shiatsu, among others. The goal of bodywork is to release tension in the muscles and connective tissues, improve circulation, and stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. It can be used as a form of complementary or alternative medicine to treat a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, stress-related disorders, and physical injuries.
