Synopsis
Excerpt from Massage and Expression or External Manipulations in the Obstetric Practice of Primitive People
Of all therapeutic agents now in use, not one has been so uniformly and so consistently resorted to, and so successfully practised at all times, as massage: its history leads us back into the darkness of the most remote ages. Homer, in his Odyssey, already tells us how beautiful women rubbed and kneaded the anointed limbs of battle - worn heroes; this was to strengthen and rejuvenate the tired body, to give tone to the musar sys tem.
The oldest historians and physicians, poets and travellers, speak of massage and give very accurate descriptions, and modern travellers tell us of its use all over the globe eastern travellers especially tell us of the luxury of massage in combi nation with the bath after wearisome exertion or labor.
In Rome we often hear of massage: Martial so speaks of it, slaves rubbed and anointed bathers in the public baths under Nero, Domitian, and Trajan.
