ABOUT MASSAGE
The earliest historical recording of massage dates back to China, over 5,000 years ago.
Around 2330 B.C., reflexology was illustrated as hieroglyphic inscriptions on the wall's of
a physicians tomb, at Saqqara, Egypt. In 1800 B.C., recommendations for massage as a
means of helping the body to heal itself, appeared in the Indian book of Ayurveda. For
thousands of years, the benefits and uses of massage are outlined in medical books of
many cultures. Even in the Bible, there are many references to the "laying of hands", as a
method of curing sickness. Over 2500 years ago, His Majesty King Rama III of Thailand
had anatomy charts engraved in stone tablets to adorn the walls of the temple.
Massage therapy in the U.S. was first introduced in 1858, by Charles and Henry Taylor.
Also, in the 19th century John Kellog wrote "The Art of Massage"' , and established a
health sanitorian in Battle Creek, MI.
Today in the U.S., massage is gaining recognition as a legitimate method of healthcare, due
to the American publics' strong interest in wholistic approaches to healthy living.
The most popular styles of massage in the U.S. are Swedish and Shiatsu. Thai Yoga
massage is on the rise in popularity, as well as Reflexology.

BENEFITS OF MASSAGE THERAPY

lymphatic system. By dilating the blood vessels, massage increases the blood circulation.

system is the garbage disposal of the human body. The increase in blood circulation
accelerates the detoxification of the lymph. The lymphatic system needs movement to
work properly. A massage will definitely encourage effective filtering and elimination of
waste from the body.The stronger the lymphatic system the stronger the immune system
becomes to protect against germs and disease. Massage is an old remedy that is naturally
