Therapeutic massage was originally developed in the late eighteenth
century by a Therapeutic master as the first systematic application of
therapeutic massage in the West. It was based on European folk massage,
oriental techniques from the Middle East and the then emerging knowledge
of modern anatomy and physiology. The strokes and manipulations of
Therapeutic Massage are each conceived as having a specific therapeutic
benefit.
One of the primary goals of Therapeutic Massage is to speed the venous
return of unoxygenated and toxic blood from the extremities.
Therapeutic massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by
flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic
wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It
stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and young. |
