What does massage therapy mean? Massage therapy is one of the most common practices of relaxing and invigorating body. It is even said to be magical at times because it can cure several diseases that were impossible to cure for many qualified doctors. So, now we are going to discuss about massage therapy in detail.

It gave the impression as something out of Paris in the thirties. In reality the word massage means "the act or art of treating the body by rubbing, kneading, patting, or the like, to stimulate circulation, increase suppleness, relieve tension, etc." Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:46:30 -0600 http://ezinearticles.com/?A-Soothing-Massage-And-a-Fine-Way-to-End-the-Day&id=3290064 http://ezinearticles.com/?A-Soothing-Massage-And-a-Fine-Way-to-End-the-Day&id=3290064 The word SPA is derived from the Belgian town of Spa, whose name is known since Roman times when the place was called Aquae Spadanae, which is maybe related to the word "spagere", meaning to sprinkle, scatter or moisten. Spa is commonly believed to come from the acronym of a Latin phrase "Salus Per Aquam" or "Sanitas Per Aquam", which means 'health through water'. Today, Spa is a place people go to relax and enhance the overall body.
