The first comprehensive history of massage.
- Written by Robert Noah Calvert, the founder of "Massage
Magazine."
- Includes 200 black-and-white illustrations.
- The definitive resource for all students and professionals in the
fields of massage and bodywork.
From the people of ancient Greece to the tribes of the Pacific
Ocean, massage has been a significant element in medicine,
midwifery, folk healing, and athletics. Yet the rich presence of
healing touch is rarely manifest in the telling of human history.
Now, for the first time, Robert Noah Calvert offers a comprehensive
history of massage that spans the globe. Starting with the healing
art's ancient foundations, Calvert's "History of Massage" leads us
through Greek temples and Middle Eastern bathhouses, Chinese
martial arts traditions and Native American sweat lodges, to
discover the significant role of touch therapy in the life of the
world's people.
With rich use of anecdote and illustrated text, the author details
the cross-cultural healing and sensual applications of massage, the
development of massage technologies, and the emerging trends of
massage in the twenty-first century. "The History of Massage" is
groundbreaking work that should not be missed by anyone interested
in massage and its benefits for healing.
