Massage is among the oldest approaches to healing in the world. It goes back more than 4,000 years. In fact, the “father of medicine” Hippocrates wrote that every physician has to be acquainted with a lot of things, including “rubbing” in other words the Art of Massage Therapy.
Well, massage therapy is much more than rubbing and being put to sleep. Over the centuries massage therapy has blossomed into more than just a feel good way for the body to heal on a therapeutic level.
Many people miss out on the many benefits of massage because they don’t know what to expect. First thing to understand is that proper draping and ethics are followed at all times. You will be left by the therapist to unclothe and get on the massage table in private.
You will lay on a clean sheet and cover with another. The massage therapist will knock and ask if you are ready before entering. During the massage, the only area that is ever exposed is the part that is being worked on and sensitive areas of the body are covered at all times.
The massage therapist will always ask you how things are going and will never do anything that is inappropriate or you don’t feel comfortable with.
In 2011, massage popularity continued to increase. However there was a greater percentage of individuals receiving treatments for specific health and medical reasons.
