Bodywork techniques refer to various hands-on practices aimed at improving physical and emotional well-being. These methods often involve manipulating the body's soft tissues, such as muscles and fascia, to relieve tension, enhance circulation, and promote relaxation. Common forms include massage therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and myofascial release. These techniques can be beneficial for managing pain, reducing stress, and improving overall body function. Practitioners may use their hands, tools, or specialized equipment to apply pressure and stretch the body. Many people seek bodywork to support recovery from injuries or to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
