Define medical massage

According to the American Massage Therapy Association, there is no such category of massage. It is a term used by some professionals that may feel the need to 'make massage sound more legitimate', perhaps on account of the industry's history being associated with massage parlors and prostitution - an image that is more of a bygone era. All massage is therapeutic, and the AMTA has stated that there is no need to make further distinctions, particularly ones attempting to connect us to the medical field. We are considered allied health, and can be very supportive of medical treatment as long as we work within a group of well informed health care professionals. The term complimentary care is a better choice when referring to massage therapy in conjunction with the medical profession.
