Therapeutic Massage has to be the oldest Therapy. It must have started before we even learnt to stand on two feet! It became far more developed by the Greeks and Romans. Nowadays though, the techniques used have French names and the subject is officially taught in College.

It can be used to give a very relaxing full body massage. but can also be used with other therapies, for instance to relax tight muscles before Acupuncture. 

This is one Therapy that I did not learn at College. I was treating a lady masseuse who had been in practice for 14 years. she was very depleted and had M.E. She was getting better week by week but, as she was not working could not afford to carry on with the treatment. So we bartered. I gave her a treatment and she would give me a one hour lesson in massage! She got much better and stopped coming over time and I got a good grounding in  massage! What better way to learn than one to one especially with a manual therapy.

I do reserve the right not to treat everyone with this therapy as it is more intimate than Acupuncture and I would not treat a man unless I knew him very well.
