Massage for beginners. An easy way to relax and release tension

Massage is a healing technique that has been used since ancient times in India, Egypt, and China. Hippocrates in Ancient Greece also prescribed massage for the relief of injuries.

In modern times, massage is used to reduce stress, for relaxation and recovery from trauma, as well as to activate the connection between mind and body.

People seek massage therapy to relieve tension in their shoulders, back pain, joint stiffness, neck problems, jaw pain, headaches, sports injuries, arthritis, insomnia, menstrual cramps, fibromyalgia and mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. A body that feels better leads to a clear and calm mind.

Massage is an important part of self-care and works best in combination with a healthy regimen and physical activity.
