The History and Development of Massage

If you enjoy a massage, then you should also be familiar with its history. Massage basically means “the manipulation of deeper and superficial layers of connective tissue and muscle to enhance body function”. It is performed by applying pressure, vibration, tension, squeezing of other actions. 


The word massage had been influenced by the French “friction of kneading”, the Arabic massage named “massa” which literally meant to touch, feel or handle, and from a Greek verb referring to “handle, touch, to work with the hands, to knead dough”.

MASSAGE is considered to be beneficial to the human body as it eliminates pain, reduces emotional conditions such as anxiousness and depression, lowers blood pressure and heart rate. It is also known to aid in the release of endorphins and serotonin and prevent the growth of fibroids and scar tissue.

With the development of technology and the hectic lifestyle of people, the very first massage chair was invented in 1962. It was designed and made in Japan to give comfort, relief and relaxation and mimic the movements and strokes of a professional masseuse. The finest massage chair is the obvious convenient solution for immediate relief of aches and pains without having to make appointments, step out of the house and paying a masseuse for each visit.  Today, the Japanese massage chairs are still leading the way in the massage chair industry.

A massage chair in Perth that can be purchased from Relax At Home are an example of a durable and built-to-last massage chair.
