MASSAGE

Massage has been considered the oldest remedy for millenniums. After any injury or painful blow people's first reaction is to squeeze, stroke and rub the affected area to reduce the pain, tenderness, etc. In a figurative sense, we can say that one performs massage on the injured area. The word massage, or similar words in other languages, originate from the Greek word mass = squeeze / knead. The first mention of massage appeared as early as 2 500 BC; we can safely assume that the origins of the use of massage as a medical device were already in use in prehistoric times. In  Europe, documented use of massage first appeared in Greece and Rome, up to the present time, where once again the use of massage is gaining importance thanks to the interest in alternative therapies. Over time we have begun to distinguish between different types of massage because of their specific purpose for health, or because of their impact and influence on the body's systems
