Massage is thought to be the oldest form of medical therapy practiced on the human body. The different types of massage and related techniques originate from ancient civilizations and their traditional customs from ancient Greek and Rome to ancient India and China.

In a recent survey sponsored by the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). Consumers were questioned as to their use of massage for pain relief. The findings were very interesting and informative. In this survey the following results were received:

• Women selected massage therapy as their first choice when asked what gives them the most relief from pain (24% versus 22% who chose medications as their first pain-relief choice).


• Men placed medications first (24 percent) and massage second (19 percent).


• Massage therapy was determined to be three times more effective at relieving pain for 18 to 24-year-olds than medication (34% preferred massage as compared to 10% who preferred medication).


• 98% of 25 to 34-year-old respondents believe that massage is an effective way to relieve pain. Furthermore, 37% of them have already had a massage to relieve pain, while 48 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds have used massage to relieve pain.
