One of the oldest healing arts, Massage Therapy has references in medical texts that are nearly 4,000 years old. The origins of Massage Therapy and muscle manipulation has been found in China as early as 2700 B.C., in India 2nd century B.C. (known as Ayurvedic medicine, "life health,") the origins can be traced also to the Greek and Roman empires in 17th century B.C.

The central goal of Massage Therapy is to allow and help the body heal itself and to increase health and well-being. The core ingredient of Massage Therapy is touch. Practitioners go through many hours of hands on training to learn the body, the muscles and many different styles of massage.

When muscles are stressed or overworked, waste products such as lactic acid can build up in muscles causing stiffness, soreness and muscle spasms. Regular massage therapy increases blood flow, bringing oxygen to the body tissues which in turn can improve overall circulation. Improved circulation can enhance healing after an injury and speed up recovery from illness. It had been said that, "Massage is to the human body what a tune-up is for a car."
