MASSAGE: THE ANCIENT ART OF HEALING HANDS
 

For thousands of years the "Laying On Of Hands" or Massage in many different forms has been used to heal the sick.

To the Ancient Greeks and Romans Physicians massage was the way of healing and relieving pain.

Early in the Fifth Century, Hippocrates, the father of medicine wrote: "Rubbing can bind a joint that is too loose and loosen a joint that is too rigid". "Rubbing" or massage was used to relieve asthma.

Julius Caesar who suffered from epilepsy was "pinched" all over daily to relieve headaches and neuralgia.

Massage was known to disperse toxins found in muscles which were not expelled by exercise.

Evidence shown by wall paintings from Ancient Egypt dating from 2330 BC depicts several forms of "Healing Hands".

The word Massage comes from the Greek - To Knead. The effects of massage depend on the knowledge and skills of the therapist.

Through skillful treatment all systems and organs will benefit to many and varied conditions.
