Massage is a part of integrative medicine
“Massage therapy helps people cope with the pain and stress from different conditions.”
Massage therapy has a long history in cultures around the world. Today, people use many different types of massage therapy for a variety of health-related purposes. In the United States, massage therapy is often considered part of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), although it does have some conventional uses.
History of massage therapy:
The oldest written record of massage is about 3000 years old, in an ancient Chinese medical text “Con-Fu of the Toa-Tse” (1800BCE). The book detailed the use of massage techniques for therapeutic purposes. Many believe that therapeutic touch actually began much earlier there. The art of massage began to evolve into a science through continued use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Add Cupping Therapy:
Cupping is used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), placing several glass, plastic or silicone “cups” on the body. It creates a local suction on the skin to activate our body’s lymphatic system, improve blood circulation, very effective to reduce muscle strain and stiffness. It releases myofascial; and improves Qi (energy) flow.
