Hawaiian massage has a long history. It was originated by the ancient Polynesians medicine men. They learned different methods that help to increase healing within the body. These techniques involved the use of the hands pressing stronger and stronger to penetrate deep into the muscles. They also used gentle swaying motions to loosen the muscles and provide relief.

The shamans of the ancient Polynesions viewed the body as having an energy. They theorized that energy flowed through the body. According to their system, they say problems in the body as where the energy was blocked. They began to develop a cause and effect logic for human healing. They began to correlate certain techniques with a given set of effects. They were able to deduce where energy was blocked and then how to manipulate it to flow once again.
