Massage is the art of manipulating the tissues of the body. This art has always existed.
As long ago as 3000BC massage was used as a therapy in the Far East, making it one of the oldest treatments used by humans.

In the fifth century BC in ancient Greece, Hippocrates recommended that to maintain health, a massage using oils should be taken daily after a perfumed bath. Greek physicians were well used to treating people who suffered from pain and stiffness in joints. The relaxation and healing powers of massage have been well documented over the past 5,000 years. Massage today has many of the aspects that were used in ancient times.

The Irish Health Culture Association developed Ki massage in Ireland and in addition to the use of massage techniques Ki is also used. Ki means Life Force or energy. It is the basic energy that keeps us alive. We all have days when the level of this life force in us flows well, we are full of energy, happy and able to cope with any challenges that come our way. At other times we may be run down and exhausted, feeling negative and with little energy to spare.

Modern day stresses can press down or diminish the flow of this energy within us. Ki Massage is designed to break down this resistance, to take the stress out of every set of muscles in turn so that the body becomes fluid and the energy is capable of flowing freely once more. This is what makes Ki massage unique from other types of massage
