Body work (alternative medicine)

Bodywork is like getting a massage, but it's not just for relaxation. When you get bodywork, someone uses their hands to touch and move your body in specific ways. This can help you feel better if you're in pain or feeling stressed.

There are many types of bodywork, but they all have one thing in common: they involve working with your muscles, bones, and joints. Some types of bodywork, like chiropractic, focus on making sure everything is in the right place so you don't feel pain. Others, like acupuncture, use tiny needles to help your body heal itself.

Bodywork might seem a little strange or scary at first, but it's actually very safe and can be very helpful. Just make sure you go to someone who's trained and licensed to do bodywork, like a massage therapist, chiropractor, or acupuncturist. They'll know what to do to help you feel better, and they'll be able to answer any questions you have.
