Massage Therapy Healing Art
Massage therapy is one of the oldest healing arts: Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document its use; the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.
Today, the benefits of massage therapy are varied and far-reaching. As an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs, massage therapy has also proven beneficial for many chronic conditions.
Conditions that improve with the help of a certified massage therapist include:
- low back pain
- arthritis
- bursitis
- fatigue
- high blood pressure
- diabetes,
- immunity suppression
- infertility
- smoking cessation
- depression, and more
As many millions will attest, massage also helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living that can lead to disease and illness.
