In ancient Greece and Rome, it was actually the physicians who utilized massage as one of the primary methods to treat pain. Today, massage therapists are some of the best trained people to deal with myocardial and musculoskeletal pain syndromes. Massage therapists are trained in anatomy, physiology, and pathology, and they spend many hours physically palpating and manipulating the muscles and soft tissue of the body. Whether it is lower back pain, arthritis, or fibromyalgia, massage may be able to relieve the associated pain.
