Therapeutic massage is believed to have developed from East Asian folk medicine and has been used for thousands of years to soothe and heal. The use of massage on horses can be traced back to the Egyptians where veterinarians were assisted by massage therapists. From there the Romans recommended massage for horses (and dogs) to increase the strength of their limbs, promote a health coat and cleanse the skin.

Today, massage is defined as "the assessment of the soft tissues and joints of the body and the treatment of prevention of physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissues and joints by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function and/or relieve pain." Or more simply, "the manipulation of soft tissues and joints for therapeutic purposes."
