Massage is one of the oldest healing traditions. Many cultures throughout history – including the Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese and people of India – were certain of the therapeutic properties of massage and used it as a foundational medical treatment for a variety of ailments.

Massage has proven through modern day research to be beneficial in many ways. It can reduce stress through calming and slowing the nervous system.  This effect on the nervous system in turn causes lowering of the heart rate and blood pressure, while also improving circulation.
