Massage relieves stress.
Stress keeps us from attending to and caring for ourselves.
Stress keeps us in the fight or flight response, always ready to run, always ready to take action to save our lives.
Most of us, including me, go around in that state day to day.
We don't consider ourselves to be in a constant state of high stress because we're in it all the time, and rarely do we have anything to compare it to.
Meditation, Exercise (like yoga or QiGong), or Massage or many other holistic healthcare options can help reduce daily stress and bring our bodies into a position where we can heal ourselves. We don't need a doctor.

Focus on the Tender Parts, with Hypnotherapy - by Shiva Reinhardt

Cracking Joints - What one doctor has to say.

Ultimately we are responsible for our own healing. Coming to a massage therpist, or other alternative healthcare practitioner is just a tool. It's like someone building a house who goes looking for a hammer. The books I've listed to the right speak in that same vein and the concepts therein are crucial for anyone involved in healing, whether midwifing others, or themselves.
