Bodywork is generalized term Healing Arts uses to encompass various healing modalities such as massage therapy, Reiki, Alexander technique, and others. Massage therapy is the most wildly known modality within bodywork.

Massage therapy is a type of treatment in which a trained and certified professional manipulates the soft tissues of your body — muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and skin — using varying degrees of pressure and movement.

Most bodyworkers work with multiple modalities when seeing clients. Healing Arts practitioners who work across multiple healing modalities should select the discipline(s) that they are certified or licensed in, and describe their other qualifications and knowledge base in their Practitioner Profile.
