About Massage Therapy

Massage, like Reflexology and many natural therapies has been part of health and healing for thousands of years.

Ancient healers knew a great deal about the body physically and spiritually, with the understanding that touch is a healing force like no other.

Brief History of Massage Therapy

Massage like so many therapies we know today had its origins in ancient civilisation. In ancient China massage was referred to as amma, for the specific techniques and finger pressure methods applied to the body’s meridians. Massage evolved and traveled possibly via the trade routes to India merging with yoga and movement therapies. In Japan massage developed into shiatsu therapy.

Hippocrates was a believer in medicine becoming an art form with loving intent and believed in the preventative measures of hands on treatment therapies for easing pain and facilitating continued healing.

Per Henrik Ling (1776 -1839) from Sweden is known as the father of modern western massage. He developed a system of massage which also involved movement that we now know as Swedish massage.

The same themes as Reflexology and Reiki apply, utilising healing through relaxation and therapeutic touch for calming and relaxing the mind, body and spirit to create positive change within the body.

Massage Therapy and Reflexology work very well together

As a treatment therapy both work in perfect harmony. Reflexology is meditative and calming with a focus on the internal body, the internal organs and tissues. Massage has its focus on the external body. Both activate a state of relaxation; both deliver support for accelerating the body’s own natural healing systems at the cellular level.
