Klinik pertama untuk terapi urut di Amerika Syarikat telah dibuka oleh dua pakar perubatan Sweden selepas tempoh Perang Saudara. Doktor Baron Nils Posse dikendalikan Institut Posse di Boston dan Doktor Hartwig Nissen membuka Institut Kesihatan Sweden berhampiran Capitol di Washington, DC
Walaupun terdapat tempoh apabila urut jatuh memihak, pada tahun 1960-an, ia membuat kemunculan semula dalam cara yang berbeza sebagai alat untuk penyembuhan bersantai, komunikasi, dan alternatif. Hari ini, Urut merupakan salah satu kaedah penyembuhan yang paling popular. Ia digunakan oleh konvensional, serta masyarakat, perubatan alternatif dan kini dilindungi oleh beberapa pelan insurans kesihatan.
Manfaat
Secara umumnya, urut dikenali menlancarkan peredaran darah dan aliran darah dan limfa, mengurangkan ketegangan otot atau flaccidity, menjejaskan sistem saraf melalui rangsangan atau ubat pelali, dan meningkatkan penyembuhan tisu. Kesan ini menyediakan beberapa faedah:
• Pelepasan pengurangan daripada ketegangan otot dan kekakuan
• kejang otot
• lebih fleksibiliti dan pelbagai gerakan

• peningkatan peredaran darah dan pergerakan limfa
• pelepasan syarat-syarat yang berkaitan dengan ketegangan, seperti sakit kepala dan eyestrain
• menggalakkan penyembuhan yang lebih cepat kecederaan tisu lembut, seperti otot yang ditarik dan ligamen terseliuh, dan pengurangan kesakitan dan bengkak yang berkaitan dengan kecederaan itu
• pengurangan dalam pembentukan tisu parut yang berlebihan berikutan kecederaan tisu lembut

Usaha
Urut terapi adalah manipulasi tisu lembut badan untuk tujuan menormalkan mereka tisu yang saintifik dan terdiri daripada kumpulan teknik manual yang termasuk mengenakan tekanan tetap atau harta alih, memegang, dan / atau menyebabkan pergerakan atau badan. Walaupun terapi urut digunakan terutamanya dengan tangan, kadang-kadang lengan atau siku yang digunakan. Teknik ini memberi kesan kepada otot, tulang, peredaran darah, limfa, saraf, dan sistem badan yang lain.

Urut tisu Deep digunakan untuk melepaskan corak kronik ketegangan otot menggunakan pukulan perlahan, tekanan langsung, atau geseran yang diarahkan di seluruh sebutir otot. Ia digunakan dengan tekanan yang lebih besar dan lapisan otot yang lebih mendalam daripada Sweden, yang mengapa ia dipanggil tisu yang mendalam dan berkesan untuk ketegangan otot yang kronik.

MASSAGE THERAPY
Definition
Massage therapy is the scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for the purpose of normalizing those tissues and consists of manual techniques that include applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, and/or causing movement of or to the body.
Origins
Massage therapy is one of the oldest health care practices known to history. References to massage are found in Chinese medical texts more than 4,000 years old. Massage has been advocated in Western health care practices at least since the time of Hippocrates, the "Father of Medicine." In the fourth century B.C. Hippocrates wrote, "The physician must be acquainted with many things and assuredly with rubbing" (the ancient Greek term for massage was rubbing).
The roots of modern, scientific massage therapy go back to Per Henrik Ling (1776–1839), a Swede, who developed an integrated system consisting of massage and active and passive exercises. Ling established the Royal Central Gymnastic Institute in Sweden in 1813 to teach his methods.
Modern, scientific massage therapy was introduced in the United States in the 1850s by two New York physicians, brothers George and Charles Taylor, who had studied in Sweden. The first clinics for massage therapy in the United States were opened by two Swedish physicians after the Civil War period. Doctor Baron Nils Posse operated the Posse Institute in Boston and Doctor Hartwig Nissen opened the Swedish Health Institute near the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Although there were periods when massage fell out of favor, in the 1960s it made a comeback in a different way as a tool for relaxation, communication, and alternative healing. Today, massage is one of the most popular healing modalities. It is used by conventional, as well as alternative, medical communities and is now covered by some health insurance plans.
Benefits
Generally, massage is known to affect the circulation of blood and the flow of blood and lymph, reduce muscular tension or flaccidity, affect the nervous system through stimulation or sedation, and enhance tissue healing. These effects provide a number of benefits:
• reduction of muscle tension and stiffness
• relief of muscle spasms
• greater flexibility and range of motion
• increase of the ease and efficiency of movement
• relief of stress and aide of relaxation
• promotion of deeper and easier breathing
• improvement of the circulation of blood and movement of lymph
• relief of tension-related conditions, such as headaches and eyestrain
• promotion of faster healing of soft tissue injuries, such as pulled muscles and sprained ligaments, and reduction in pain and swelling related to such injuries
• reduction in the formation of excessive scar tissue following soft tissue injuries
• enhancement in the health and nourishment of skin
• improvement in posture through changing tension patterns that affect posture
• reduction in stress and an excellent stress management tool
• creation of a feeling of well-being
• reduction in levels of anxiety
• increase in awareness of the mind-body connection
• promotion of a relaxed state of mental awareness
Massage therapy also has a number of documented clinical benefits. For example, massage can reduce anxiety, improve pulmonary function in young asthma patients, reduce psycho-emotional distress in persons suffering from chronic inflammatory bowel disease, increase weight and improve motor development
in premature infants, and may enhance immune system functioning. Some medical conditions that massage therapy can help are: allergies, anxiety and stress, arthritis, asthma and bronchitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive motion injuries, chronic and temporary pain, circulatory problems, depression, digestive disorders, tension headache, insomnia, myofascial pain, sports injuries, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
Description
Massage therapy is the scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for the purpose of normalizing those tissues and consists of a group of manual techniques that include applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, and/or causing movement of or to the body. While massage therapy is applied primarily with the hands, sometimes the forearms or elbows are used. These techniques affect the muscular, skeletal, circulatory, lymphatic, nervous, and other systems of the body. The basic philosophy of massage therapy embraces the concept of vis Medicatrix naturae, which is aiding the ability of the body to heal itself, and is aimed at achieving or increasing health and well-being.
Touch is the fundamental medium of massage therapy. While massage can be described in terms of the type of techniques performed, touch is not used solely in a mechanistic way in massage therapy. One could look at a diagram or photo of a massage technique that depicts where to place one's hands and what direction the stroke should go, but this would not convey everything that is important for giving a good massage. Massage also has an artistic component.
Because massage usually involves applying touch with some degree of pressure and movement, the massage therapist must use touch with sensitivity in order to determine the optimal amount of pressure to use for each person. For example, using too much pressure may cause the body to tense up, while using too little may not have enough effect. Touch used with sensitivity also allows the massage therapist to receive useful information via his or her hands about the client's body, such as locating areas of muscle tension and other soft tissue problems. Because touch is also a form of communication, sensitive touch can convey a sense of caring—an essential element in the therapeutic relationship—to the person receiving massage.
In practice, many massage therapists use more than one technique or method in their work and sometimes
combine several. Effective massage therapists ascertain each person's needs and then use the techniques that will meet those needs best.
Swedish massage uses a system of long gliding strokes, kneading, and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of muscles, generally in the direction of blood flow toward the heart, and sometimes combined with active and passive movements of the joints. It is used to promote general relaxation, improve circulation and range of motion, and relieve muscle tension. Swedish massage is the most commonly used form of massage.
Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic patterns of muscular tension using slow strokes, direct pressure, or friction directed across the grain of the muscles. It is applied with greater pressure and to deeper layers of muscle than Swedish, which is why it is called deep tissue and is effective for chronic muscular tension.
Sports massage uses techniques that are similar to Swedish and deep tissue, but are specially adapted to deal with the effects of athletic performance on the body and the needs of athletes regarding training, performing, and recovery from injury.
Neuromuscular massage is a form of deep massage that is applied to individual muscles. It is used primarily to release trigger points (intense knots of muscle tension that refer pain to other parts of the body), and also to increase blood flow. It is often used to reduce pain. Trigger point massage and myotherapy are similar forms.
Acupressure applies finger or thumb pressure to specific points located on the acupuncture meridians (channels of energy flow identified in Asian concepts of anatomy) in order to release blocked energy along these meridians that causes physical discomforts, and re-balance the energy flow. Shiatsu is a Japanese form of acupressure.
