Massage is probably the oldest therapy known to man. It has been practiced in the Middle and Far East since at least 3000 BC. It became increasingly popular in Europe from the 1900's onwards and since then, therapeutic massage has grown into an art of creating and maintaining the best possible health. It aims to do this by in turn relaxing, stimulating and invigorating mind and body. Touch is of vital importance to our well-being. It gives reassurance, warmth, pleasure, comfort and renewed energy. Of all our senses, touch is the first to develop and it is primarily through tactile experience that we make sense of the world. It is a profound language and its benefits as a remedial and deeply relaxing medium have been recognized and used for thousand of years.
Physically, massage is aimed at improving the blood, muscular and nervous systems and mentally it has a calming and soothing effect. You will cover many aspects of massage over virtually every inch of the body, and will learn the safe, correct way to prepare and give good effective massage.
