What is Massage?
The manipulation of the body’s soft tissues for healing purposes began more than 5000 years ago. There has been evidence of the practice in India, China, Egypt, Japan, Greece, and Rome in BCE. The oldest indication of massaging practice dates back to about 3000 BCE in India. It was regarded as a sacred natural healing mechanism. Massage is a form of therapy that involves the manual manipulation of soft tissue to promote relaxation, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall well-being. It has been practiced for thousands of years and has been used to alleviate a wide range of physical and mental health issues. Massage can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual, from relaxing and rejuvenating to targeted and therapeutic.
