The word massage is derived from the Greek word “massein” which means “to knead”. There is archaeological and literary evidence that many ancient civilizations utilized massage as a healing practice.
In the U.S., massage therapy is considered a regulated health care profession, as there is required training, education, and examination for massage therapists, as well as standards of practice.
