What Is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy is recognized as one of the oldest methods of healing,
with references in medical texts nearly 4,000 years old. In fact, Hippocrates,
known as the "father of medicine," referenced massage when he wrote, in
the 4th century B.C.: "The physician must be acquainted with many things,
and assuredly with rubbing."
Now days, in addition to "rubbing," massage therapy, often referred to as
bodywork or somatic therapy, refers to the application of various techniques
to the muscular structure and soft tissues of the body that include applying
fixed or movable pressure, holding, vibration, rocking, friction, kneading
and compression using primarily the hands, although massage therapists do
use other areas of the body, such as the forearms, elbows or feet. All of the
techniques are used for the benefit of the musculoskeletal, circulatory-
lymphatic, nervous, and other systems of the body. In fact, massage therapy
positively influences the overall health and well-being of the client:
Physical and Mental Benefits
* relaxes the whole body
* loosens tight muscles
* relieves tired and aching muscles
* increases flexibility and range of motion
* diminishes chronic pain
* calms the nervous system
* lowers blood pressure
* lowers heart rate
* enhances skin tone
* assists in recovery from injuries and illness
* strengthens the immune system
* reduces tension headaches
* reduces mental stress
* improves concentration
* promotes restful sleep
* aids in mental relaxation
