Massage Therapy Denver

The health and wellness area has seen an interest in massage therapy

. Although message therapy is not knew it has developed a new following in this modern age. Massage therapy was practiced by the ancient Chinese and Egyptians in abut 2700 BCE. The book entitled "The Yellow Emperor's Classic Book of Internal Medicine" was followed faithfully back then. Now the translated version of the same book is used in training massage therapists and well as for teaching alternative medicine which includes acupuncture.

In exploring the tombs of the ancient Egyptians archeologists found wall paintings that showed massage therapy as one of the forms used in medical procedures. Egyptians get the credit for being the first to use reflexology in the year 2500 BCE. This form of medical treatment has a great influence on the Greeks and the Romans. Back in 1500 BCE, meditation together with relaxation was used in India. There is some evidence that it may have been before 1500 BCE. They referred to massage therapy, meditation and relaxation as the life science. Holistic medicinal procedures have as their basis, massage therapy.

In the early 1800s, Dr. Per Henril Ling, devised the Swedish Movement System which became known as Swedish massage. Massage therapy was introduced to the western world at that time. Today, in the western world, there are two types of massage therapy and most popular: the Swedish massage and Shiatsu. The latter is a Japanese form of massage therapy. There is a lot of work being done in the massage therapy area that includes body movements such as Pilates, Reiki and other similar movements.

Denver offers The Divine Touch Massage Therapy which focuses on deep tissue therapy, neuromuscular therapy, Swedish massage and hot stone massage. The hot stone therapy is most interesting as it uses stone that have been naturally developed from volcanic lava that has been hardened naturally. To be used in hot stone massage therapy the stones are heated; the large stones are laid on the back and or on the legs and the small stones are used in the actual massage while being held by the massage therapist. There is a great deal of therapeutic value in the hot stone massage.

A specialty of Divine Touch Massage Therapy is deep tissue massage therapy. They use pressure point techniques on the trapezium muscle which is the muscle between the shoulders and the arms. The trapezium muscle is usually injured during sports activities of heavy household chores. Deep tissue massage therapy relieves the pain and helps with any immobilization the injury may have caused.
