Theraputic Massage - TOP
Massage is one of the oldest and simplest forms of medical care. Reference can be seen on the tomb walls in Egypt, read in the ancient Chinese and Indian manuscripts and used by Greek and Roman physicians. At the end of the 19th century a Swedish gymnast, Per Hendrik Ling, restored massage’s image throughout Europe. Physiotherapy was originally based on Ling’s methods and established in 1894 with the foundation in the UK of the Society of Trained Masseurs. Per Hendrik Ling’s “Swedish movement techniques” in massage are grounded in anatomy and are referred to today as “Swedish Massage”. By using a combination of gentle and vigorous hand movements, a massage therapist is able to stimulate all systems, to aid in the boosting of the immune system.
