The History of Body Massage
From the earliest of times, massage has been used by stroking or rubbing parts of our body that are experiencing pain. It is a universal instinct to rub ourselves when we are hurt.
Dating back 3000 years, the ancient Romans, Greeks, Chinese and Egyptians have been known to use a massage. Those who could afford to do so were rubbed with olive oil after they bathed to help keep their joints and skin supple. This soon developed into a full body massage; in fact, Julius Caesar received massage to relieve his epilepsy.
In Africa and Asia massage has always been valued and used as a healer and is today used widely in the UK as a way to treat ill health, for relaxation and as a preventative.
Apart from the pampering aspect of the treatment, massage has many physiological and emotional benefits. The power of touch is huge and should not be underestimated as a luxury
