One of the oldest healing arts, Massage Therapy has
references in medical texts that are nearly 4,000 years
old. The origins of Massage Therapy and muscle manipulation
has been found in China as early as 2700 B.C., in India
2nd century B.C. (known as Ayurvedic medicine, “life
health,”) the origins can be traced also to the
Greek and Roman empires in 17th century B.C.
 The central goal of Massage Therapy is to allow and
help the body heal itself and to increase health and
well-being. The core ingredient of Massage Therapy
is touch. Practitioners go through many hours of hands
on training to learn the body, the muscles and many
different styles of massage.
When muscles are stressed or overworked, waste products
such as lactic acid can build up in muscles causing
stiffness, soreness and muscle spasms. Regular massage
therapy increases blood flow, bringing oxygen to the
body tissues which in turn can improve overall circulation.
Improved circulation can enhance healing after an injury
and speed up recovery from illness. It had been said
that, "Massage is to the human body what a
tune-up is for a car."
