Origin of massages

Massages come from the evolution of mammals, monkeys, for example, pinch their babies as a form of massage, which over time has become today a type of massage technique.

It is also known that Roman and Greek soldiers after training massaged their bodies to relieve pain.

It was at the beginning of the 19th century (1800) that the Swedish scientist Henrik Ling, taking up the ancestral knowledge of different cultures, helped to develop the massage technique, introducing it as a technical career at the university.

Massage is conceived as a scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the human body.

Ayurvedic massage combines Western technique with ancestral wisdom, focusing on the marmas points to which pressure or circular movements are applied using the tips of the thumbs on the index fingers.
