Massage therapy treatment is a general title for all categories of treatment therapies. In other words, used as a means to proactive and positive ends, massage therapy treatment meets the goals and needs of patients in a number of different therapeutic and healing environs.

For example, medical massage therapy treatment and orthopedic massage therapy both have problem-focused goals. In particular, both emphasize soft-tissue rehabilitation and subsequent relieving of pain and/or dysfunction.

At the same time, general massage therapy treatment is a hands-on method involving a rehabilitation and/or a maintenance of skeletal, muscular, lymphatic and nervous system functioning-while the more specific therapeutic massage therapy treatment emphasizes manipulation (also hands-on) of tissues to alleviate pain, reduce and eliminate stress, and encourage wellness and well-being.

So in the case of massage therapy treatment, the goals are set to be reachable, to have positive results that positively affect the life of the client, and to be relevant and reflective of what the client needs, whether he/she needs extensive rehabilitation or monthly health maintenance.
