What is the difference between recreational therapy from physical therapy?

Medical Massage Therapy uses advanced deep tissue massage techniques to break up scar tissue, release adhered tissues, and promote healthy tissue growth and repair.

Physical therapy usually involves more range of motion testing, joint mobilization, stretches, exercises, and some massage.

Both Physical therapy and Medical Massage therapy require a detailed knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Many Physical therapists do practice some form of massage and nearly all massage therapists are trained in range of motion, joint mobilization, and stretching movements.
