It is believed that ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Hindu, Chinese and Japanese civilizations used manual massage since 3000 BC.
The healing properties of massage were first mentioned in 2800 BC in the “Yellow Emperor's Book” and since then applied and improved by different cultures and with different styles, all over the world.
First by the Greek and Roman peoples, who always placed great value on health and beauty.
Then by the Western people, even though massage was banned in Europe during the Middle Ages, as physical contact was considered sinful by the Catholic Church. In fact, it was necessary to wait until the 1960s for some European countries to start accepting massage as a therapeutic treatment.
