Who is the true height of the emergence of the massage - it is not known. Many people, when trying to find an answer, begin to google / read books, etc. In the hope of finding answers, as a result, the nichrome do not find. Why? \u003d\u003e Yes, because it was impossible to give preference to those or other peoples in the authorship of the invention of massage, because it was born and developed in parallel in different countries and continents !!!

At that distant at a distant time, poor people, having other means of exposure to their body / body, in various life circumstances (for example, at various illnesses / pains) resorted to the only means that was available to them, namely - to their hands , they simply used friction / stroking (in other words, they made a "massage") in order to help themselves, in fact, there was a therapeutic agent at the dawn of human development ... which, as you know, was practiced and practiced so far, in many countries of the world (if not in all).

Massage classification
