It can be wonderful. I have cervical stenosis and I've been occasionally dealing with massage therapists who work at physical therapy places since 1998. There also are therapists who work at chiropractic offices. Also, "Massage Envy". The guy I've seen there 2-3 times over the past year or so was in the Army working as a "Tank Mechanic" before he received his "RMT (Registered Massage Therapist)" a few years ago. :-)
