Massage in Belgrade

Massage is the first and oldest form of treatment with the help of touch. And the very origin of the name "massage" is linked to the Arabic word "massa", which means touch. There is a belief that the word "massage" actually comes from the Latin word "massare" which means to knead.
Massage developed, changed, improved and today we have different types of professional massages.
In historical writings, you can find different versions of the story of the origin of massage, but each of them has one thing in its essence - massage had a healing character since its appearance.
It is believed that massage originated in the Chinese tradition, because massage as a method of healing with the help of touch was first mentioned in Chinese medical writings almost 5,000 years ago.
The importance of massage in treatment was emphasized by the father of medicine himself, Hippocrates. Therapeutic massage was first introduced by Herodonas, a student of Hippocrates, to treat various strains.
From ancient Greece, massage was transferred to ancient Rome. In ancient Rome, massage was used for medical and sports purposes, as well as in everyday life. In the 2nd century BC, Galen wrote several books related to massage and its application.
Traces of the first massages can be found written down by the Chinese and Hindus as far back as 3,000 years before Christ. The book was called Nei Jing and contained the earliest Chinese ideas about massage. She used massage to relieve the pain caused by hard physical work. The development of massage in ancient China took place in parallel with the development of medicine, which, in addition to drugs and medicinal herbs, also applied acupuncture.
The Japanese, under the influence of Chinese acupuncture, over time developed a similar method - shiatzu (shi = finger, atzu = pressure), with which they performed a certain form of acupuncture in a special way, by pressing fingers and nails. The Indian book Ayurveda, written 1800 years before Christ, describes massage as rubbing and shampooing which they recommend for healing the body.
Egyptian, Persian and Mesopotamian books mention the benefits of the massage.
The Russian doctor of medicine Isidora Zabludovsky (1850-1906), who conducted research on the application and effect of massage, is considered the founder of modern therapeutic massage.
In the 1960s and 1970s, thanks to the holistic and intuitive technique of massage - connecting the mind, body and spirit, massage became a powerful agent for personal change in health.
Today, an unofficial division of massages has been established, so there are:
• Sports massage that achieves better circulation and resolves muscle inflammation in athletes
• Therapeutic massage that acts on a specific health problem
• Relax massage that relaxes the muscles and the whole body
• Partial massage focusing on a specific part of the body (hands, feet, neck, back...)

Hand (manual) massages are performed using natural scented oils that penetrate the skin and then spread through the bloodstream, thus increasing circulation, relaxing the body and freeing it from toxins.
Each of the above-mentioned massages has developed its own specific types. Today, there are massages that are created for the purpose of solving a specific, clearly defined health problem or condition.
It is interesting that various scientific researches are still being conducted on the effects and possibilities of massage, and we are constantly learning that the effects of massage are more powerful than previously thought. In the European Patent Office, there are about 45,000 registered patents related to massage alone.
