Massage
Therapy
Massage
is one of the oldest healing arts: Chinese records dating back 3,000
years document its use; the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied
forms of massage for many ailments; and Hippocrates wrote papers recommending
the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.
Today, the benefits of massage are varied and far-reaching. As an accepted
part of many physical rehabilitation programs, massage therapy has also
proven beneficial for many chronic conditions, including low back pain,
arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, immunity
suppression, infertility, smoking cessation, depression, and more. And,
as many millions will attest, massage also helps relieve the stress
and tension of everyday living that can lead to disease and illness.
