A Brief History Of Massage

Massage is considered to be among the oldest of all treatments used by man. Chinese records dating back three thousand years documented its use. The ancient Hindus, Persians, and Egyptians used forms of massage for many ailments, and Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. Today, massage is an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs and has proven beneficial to many chronic conditions such as low-back pain, arthritis, and bursitis. Massage helps relieve the stress and tension of this crazy go-fast world.

Can Massage and Bodywork Benefit Me?

Massage provides relief to people from all walks of life—the weekend or competitive athlete, the home gardener, and the business person trying to keep pace in today’s marketplace.

Secretaries, laborers, waitresses - people who are working hard and have repetitive over-usage -  especially in the hands and arms - will benefit greatly.

Massage For Pain And Emotional Issues

With many chronic issues, massage can relieve the pain and help heal. As with physical problems, emotional issues may also be stimulated into self-healing with massage. In many cases, this helps eliminate the need to take harmful synthetic drugs, which will unnecessarily burden the liver, kidneys, and other vital organs.
