| A Long History |
|
| |
The practice of using touch as a healing method derives from customs and techniques rooted in ancient history. Civilizations in the East and West found that natural healing and massage could heal injuries, relieve pain, and prevent and cure illnesses. What's more, it helped reduce stress and produce deep relaxation.
|
| ----------------------------------------------------- |
| There is a book called "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" from the Chinese and dates back to 2,700 B.C.. It tells the skin and flesh being massaged with use of breathing exercises as well as hands and feet exercises. |
| ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Julius Ceasar is also a part of the history of massage because he was said to have neuralgia. He used daily massages in order to treat his condition. Hippocrates who was known to be the Father of Western Medicine and a huge part of massage history stated that a doctor needed to be proficient in many things, especially rubbing because it was this rubbing that could loosen a rigid joint as well as bind a joint that is too loose. |
| ----------------------------------------------------- |
| The traditions of Indian Medicine can also be found in the history of massage. The system of Indian Medicine used the benefits of therapeutic massage with spices and aromatic oils. This type of system is still very widely used in India. |
| ----------------------------------------------------- |
| In the history of massage, a 19th century Swedish doctor named Per Henrik Ling, developed the most common type of massage that used today which is the Swedish massage. This massage is based on physiology and gymnastics studies. This massage therapy also included techniques founded in China, Greece, Rome, and Egypt. In 1894, the massage techniques of Physiotherapy was established by the Society of Trained Masseurs. World War I is also included in massage history because the patients who were suffering from shell shock or nerve injury were often treated with massage. |

| Massage Therapy |
|
| Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance the function and promote relaxation and well-being.

| Relaxation Massage |
 |
 |
|
| The massage consists of the therapist applying gentle to medium pressure of the hands to the body, gently manipulating the tissue to promote relaxation. It is not a deep tissue massage. It is not designed for working the deeper muscles of the body, but just a gentle kneading and rubbing of the outer layers of the body tissue |
