Massage therapy is recognized as one of the world’s oldest healing practices—it’s referenced in medical texts going back nearly 4,000 years!
Medically speaking, the Massage Therapy Act of 1991 states that, the purpose of massage therapy is to prevent, develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function or relieve pain.
