One of the oldest therapies known to man, practiced since 300 BC, massage treatment has seen many variations in techniques and addition of essential agents like herbs, oils and relaxants to it. Hindu and Chinese scriptures consider it a finely balanced system and a part of ancient medical practices. Greece too had massage therapy and its curative powers hailed by the famous Greek physician, Hippocrates. Massage parlors had physicians linking it closely with science and this is the reason why the decline faced in the early years of this century (due to massage parlors thought to be associated with prostitution and therefore people shying away from them) has given way to a new awakening and revival of this ancient technique in health spas and the home. With people becoming more aware of holistic and natural health care, the interest in improving physical health has led to a resurgence of massage parlors and the rejuvenation they offer.
Defining Massage and Visiting A Massage Parlor
The treatment of superficial parts of the body for therapeutic purposes by specially developed techniques of rubbing, stroking, kneading or slapping, applied manually or with the help of electronic devices is defined as massage. For this to be curative the skilled hands of a physiotherapist/qualified masseur are needed. The treatments, prices and packages offered by massage parlors are dependant on the location, technique, experience of masseuses and the clientele the massage parlor caters to. Many parlors have websites, online discount coupons or gift voucher systems that enable one to check out services and products at the convenience of a fingertip and even allow booking a consultancy visit. The local yellow pages are another option of checking for a listing of good massage parlors in the area.
