Massage
Massage involves working and acting on the body with pressure – structured, unstructured, stationary, or moving – tension, motion, or vibration, done manually or with mechanical aids. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearm, feet, or a massage device. Massage can promote relaxation and well-being,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What is Massage Therapy? )〕 can be a recreational activity, and can be sexual in nature (see Erotic massage).
In professional settings massage clients are treated while lying on a massage table, sitting in a massage chair, or lying on a mat on the floor, while in amateur settings a general purpose surface like a bed or floor is more common. Aquatic massage and bodywork is performed with recipients submersed or floating in a warm-water therapy pool. The massage subject may be fully or partially clothed or unclothed.
== Etymology ==
The word comes from the French ''massage'' "friction of kneading", or from Arabic ''massa'' meaning "to touch, feel" or from Latin ''massa'' meaning "mass, dough",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Etymology Dictionary, massage )〕 cf. Greek verb μάσσω (''massō'') "to handle, touch, to work with the hands, to knead dough".〔(μάσσω ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 In distinction the ancient Greek word for massage was ''anatripsis'', and the Latin was ''frictio''.
