Massage Therapy is one of the oldest methods in the healing arts. There are references in medical texts as far back as Ancient Egypt (Kemet) and the early Greeks related to massages.
Massage Therapy refers to the application of various techniques to the muscular structure and soft tissues of the body that include applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, vibration, rocking, friction, kneading and compression using primarily the hands and sometimes the forearms, elbows or feet.
