The way we practise massage therapy now has evolved and developed over centuries and has been informed by the knowledge and practises of different cultures.  The incorporation of a scientific knowledge base, an understanding of anatomy and physiology, has enabled techniques to be developed that can be used to address specific musculo-skeletal conditions with effectiveness.
