Gaspary massage knowledge, City of Bath, Somerset, UKHere is a brief overview of massage history to help you choose the massage that is right for you.

Thousands of years ago in ancient China, massage was used as a healing technique. This expertise, just like the secret of porcelain making, was of great value. Massage was also practiced in India at that time in addition to yoga and was known as a health preservation method. Records also exist in Egypt about disorders being healed with the power of touch.

The next major step is ancient Greece where massage was supplied to athletes practically as a daily routine. Numerus written records survive from this period. For example, Hippocrates recorded his medical observations along with the remark that there are certain conditions where massage is not advised. (For example, massage is bad for patients who are weak with fever because one of the effects of massage is that it causes an increased blood flow locally, which increases body Gaspary massage Greek-Rome, City of Bath, Somerset, UKtemperature...)

With the spread of Greek-Roman culture, this simple yet effective method of refreshing and healing continued to evolve until it was all summarized by a Swedish fencing master, Pehr Henrik Ling in the 19th century. This was later named Swedish massage and elaborated further. It is used to this day as the basis for refreshing massage, sports massage, and remedial massage. There are other types of massages as well, such as Thai massage, reflexology (foot massage) and Shiatsu massage. Deep tissue massage was developed by the Canadian physician Therese Phimmer, who opened her clinic in 1949. She also wrote a book on deep tissue massage titled Muscles: Your Invisible Bonds.

That is to say, massage has been an elaborate and effective method for thousands of years for health preservation and restoration, which, if practiced by a trained and state-certified massage therapist with hundreds of hours of training practice, has no side effects.
