Massage is one of humanity's oldest therapeutic practices. Evidence of massage techniques has been found in Chinese texts dating back to 2700 BC and in Egyptian papyri over 4,000 years old. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates already recommended friction to treat injuries. The tradition of massage in thalassotherapy developed in France from the 1960s onwards, combining the virtues of seawater and marine algae with ancestral massage techniques. Today, thalassotherapy centres offer a wide variety of massages, blending Western techniques for muscular relaxation with Eastern approaches focused on energy and body harmony.
