Stress. A part of everyones' lives, whether it be a large part of your life or small part, we all have it. Experts estimate that 80-90% of disease is stress-related, and 40-80% of doctor visits are stress-related. So you can see that stress can and will have a negative effect on your body. Stress can bring on anxiety and anxiety attacks, high blood pressure, headaches and migraines, heart disease, depression, chronic fatigue, insomnia, ulcers, colds and other serious problems such as eating disorders, drug addiction and alcoholism.
How can massage help avoid some of these issues? First off, it's a natural treatment. Massage helps us remember to relax and bring about positive changes mentally and physically. It can help decrease anxiety attacks, headaches, migraines and improve your immune system and circulation. It can help you sleep better and relieving insomnia which just that in itself can be stressful for many people. It reduces fatigue and gives you more energy to handle stressful situations.
Massage is medicine, it's a natural medicine. The 'father of medicine' Hippocrates, used massage techniques to treat many medical conditions. He stated that "anyone wishing to study medicine must master the art of massage." It's just too bad that his philosophy is not widely used. If we all received massage on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis our world would be a much happier place.

What do the Chinese, Greeks and Japanese have in common?
Massage is one of the oldest healing arts with Chinese records dating back over thousands of years ago with the first documented descriptions dating back to about 3,000 BC. Traditional Chinese medicine is based on the principle that every illness, ailment or discomfort in the body is due to an imbalance in "Qi." In Japan the practice of medicine mostly consisted of diagnosis and treatment with massage-type methods. The ancient Greeks valued the benefits of massage using it in just about every aspect of daily life. Hippocrates, the 'father of medicine' used massage techniques to treat many medical conditions. He stated that "anyone wishing to study medicine must master the art of massage."
