Massage & Bodywork
A Brief History

Massage is considered to be among the oldest of all treatments used by man. Chinese records dating back 3,000 years documented its use. The ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians used forms of massage for some ailments and Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. Therapeutic massage and bodywork can help restore balance and relieve many of the mental, emotional and physical symptoms caused by prolonged stress. It is a gentle method of relieving pain and, in some cases, can reduce or eliminate the need for medicine or surgery.
