Therapeutic massage is a general term used to describe massage with purpose.  The purpose of therapeutic massage is that both the client and practitioner have a shared goal of achieving structural changes within the body, generally through a series of regular massages.

A therapeutic session all depends on what the clients needs are.  While any professional massage is therapeutic, with real health benefits , some massages focus more on relaxation.
