The origins of massage are as primal as
the basic human need to be touched. Before the written word, we
are quite sure that people discovered how therapeutic it is to have
another person rhythmically apply perssure to aching muscles and
joints. Written history provides us with examples of Greek, Roman
and Arabic physicians recommending massage for a variety of conditons:
everything from melancholy to preparations for and recovery from
athletic efforts.
Today, massage is recommended by many in the medical community to
treat headaches, insomnia, digestive disorders, arthritis, asthma,
carpal tunnel syndrome, minor aches and pains as well as deep tissue
damage.
Perhaps more importantly, massage is also
recognized for it's preventative powers- releasing the stress that
can lead to more serious medical ailments.
Recent articles have noted that many of the ingredients
used in health spas are environmentally
unsound and/or unhealthy. It is our promise and first priority at Therapeutic Body Kneads
that all ingredients used in our services are pure and safe. Our body treatments take
you back to nature and provide delightful sensory stimulation by using simple wholesome
ingredients and traditional holistic methods. Please call us for more information.
