With growing popularity and an incredible impact on the world of health care, it's no surprise that massage therapy is also one of the fastest growing careers, with more and more young people pursuing lives as massage therapists.

Using a technique of deep muscle massage, massage therapists have become a resource to treat all sorts of maladies from stress and anxiety to spinal problems and even torn muscles. Continuously growing in recognition in the medical field, massage therapy has become more and more widely recommended by physicians as part of a healing regime or even just a healthy lifestyle. Insurance companies also acknowledge the importance of massage, with many companies specifically adding massage therapy or chiropractic treatment to their coverage.

Originating as early as 2700 BC, massage is thought to be the oldest form of medical treatment practiced on the human body. From Greece and Rome, to the ancient Far East, many techniques and varieties of massage therapy have entered into the world of massage today. Egyptian tombs show images of royalty being massaged, and traditional Indian physicians employed a variety of massage techniques, aromatherapy, and oil treatments.

Perhaps the most significant development in massage therapy – at least the foundation of western massage – came from Sweden. Swedish massage, originally introduced in the 19th century, took the ancient techniques employed in traditional China, India, Greece, and Rome, and combined them, creating the first comprehensive massage technique. From there, massage spread throughout Europe, and was well on its way to becoming the break through in health that we are experiencing today.

People seek massage therapy as a means to treat problematic injuries, not only in the back, but also the thighs, shoulders, neck, arms, legs, and even ovaries. There is a large field of specialty massage therapists with a variety of strengths, and finding the right masseuse can make all the difference between a life-time injury and a fast recovery. Massage therapy is also a means to deal with stress or anxiety; the massaging of the muscles releases negative emotions and allows the body to relax, cleansing itself of stress, tension, and negativity. A good massage therapist can read deeply into the muscles of a client to determine where, what, and why problems exist in the body and mind.

Like a symphony, the human body produces beautiful work only when all its parts are in complete accord. This is one of the focuses of massage therapy – to unify each “instrument” or function of the body, working through knots and out-of-tune muscles to help the body achieve perfect harmony.

According to the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association), massage therapy has been scientifically proven to treat or cure many illnesses and muscle problems, as well as boosting the immune system, lowering blood pressure, soothing joint and muscle pain, combating depression and withdrawal symptoms, lowering stress and anxiety levels, and rehabilitating patients with serious injuries.
