Naples Med Spa Touts Key Benefits of Massage Therapy
The practice of using massage to heal injuries, relieve pain, reduce stress, and prevent and cure illnesses has roots in ancient Eastern and Western civilizations. The earliest written records about massage therapy came from Egypt and China between 3,000 and 2,500 B.C. However, a sacred form of massage known as Ayurveda is thought to have emerged in India before 3,000 B.C., with the first written texts detailing its principles and practices between 1,500 and 500 B.C. The ancient Greeks and Romans heartily adopted massage for health purposes and, when combined with aromatic oils, as a beautifying skin treatment.
