The origin of massage

What is massage? According to Webster Dictionary, massage is
"manipulation of tissues (as by rubbing, kneading, or tapping) with
the hand or an instrument for therapeutic purposes"

Although massage shop is almost everywhere on the street, it
originally came from hospitals due to its therapeutic purpose.

Most people think massage origins from the age of Ayurveda in
India,
2nd BC. However, the earliest massage found in history is actually in
China. The origins of massage are found in China in 2700 B.C. where
the first documentation of massage is found. The text is called "The
Yellow Emperor's Classic Book of Internal Medicine.
