A Brief History of Massage
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.  Today,
massage is an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs and has proven
beneficial to many chronic conditions such as low back pain, arthritis, and bursitis.  Massage
helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living.
