Going back as far as 3000 years ago, the Greeks and Romans used massage to treat sports and war injuries, whereas the ancient cultures of Japan, Egypt and Arabia all considered massage to be calming, soothing and relaxing.

In the 21st Century there are many different kinds of massage therapies available, each of which offer specific benefits to the mind and body. Relaxation is the most common effect associated with massage which has therapeutic value in itself.

However, the therapeutic value of massage extends far beyond relaxation as it works with your body’s own natural movements to help improve circulation, posture, stiff joints and numerous other ailments and disorders.
