Massage
is the practice of soft tissue manipulation with physical, functional, and in
some cases psychological purposes and goals. The word comes from the
French massage "friction of kneading," or from Arabic massa meaning
"to touch, feel or handle" or from Latin massa meaning "mass, dough".
An older etymology may even have been the Hebrew me-sakj
"to anoint with oil". In distinction the ancient Greek word for massage
was anatripsis, and the Latin was frictio.
Massage involves acting on and manipulating the body with
pressure – structured, unstructured, stationary, or moving – tension,
motion, or vibration, done manually or with mechanical aids. Target
tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints,
or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, or organs of
the gastrointestinal system. Massage can be applied with
the hands, fingers, elbows, forearm, and feet. There are over
eighty different recognized massage modalities. The most cited
reasons for introducing massage as therapy have been client
demand and perceived clinical effectiveness.
In professional settings massage involves the client being treated
while lying on a massage table, sitting in a massage chair, or lying
on a mat on the floor. The massage subject may be fully or partly
unclothed. Parts of the body may be covered with towels or sheets.
