"It's not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It's necessary."
-Mandy Hals
Thousands of years ago therapeutic massage was an integral part of treating ailments. The first written records for massage date back to 2700 BCE in the Chinese text, "The Yellow Emperor's Classic Book of Internal Medicine." Tomb paintings dating back to 2500 BCE show massage was also part of Egyptian culture. Hippocrates who many consider the founder of medicine, believed that anyone studying medicine must first master the art of massage. He was the first physician to describe the medical benefits of massage.
Today much research is devoted to the health benefits of therapeutic massage. Research has shown massage benefits to include pain management, improved mood and sleep, boosts immune system, prevents sports injuries, preparing for and recovering from workouts, increased range of motion, management of arthritis, as well as many others.
