Live each day happy, relaxed and healthy.

Live each day happy, relaxed and healthy.

For the body to function optimally, it has to be physically, mentally or emotionally sound. Family, career, education, and other daily routines we indulge in usually become overwhelmingly strenuous.

While a change is as good as a rest, massage could be the best remedy. A good massage relaxes and supplies your body with renewed strength. Massage is one package with a lot of health benefits.

The practice of using touch as a healing method derives from customs and techniques rooted in ancient history.Massage therapy began as a sacred system of natural healing. However, cultural shifts rendered it a disreputable form of indulgence for extensive periods of history. Enduring these turns, massage has experienced resurgence in modern times. Today,massage therapystands as a highly respectedholistic healingmethod practiced across the world.

In Rome, during the first century BCE, Galen, a physician to many emperors, began using massage therapy to treat different types of physical injuries and diseases. Following Hippocrates' principles, Galen believed in exercise, healthy diet, rest and massage as integral pieces in restoring and maintaining a healthy body.

While the wealthy received massages in their homes by personal physicians, many Romans were treated in public baths where trainers and doctors delivered massages. The recipients would first bathe themselves and then receive a full body massage to stimulate circulation and loosen their joints. Massages typically included oils to benefit the skin.
