History of Massage
Massage therapy has a history dating back thousands of years across various cultures. Originating in the ancient civilizations of China, India, and Egypt, massage was used for its healing properties and to promote relaxation.
The Chinese developed Tui Na, a form of massage integrated into Traditional Chinese Medicine, while Ayurveda in India included massage as a key practice for balancing the body's energies.
In Greece and Rome, massage was widely used by athletes and in public baths for its rejuvenating effects. Over centuries, these diverse traditions have evolved and merged, leading to the contemporary practices we benefit from today.
