Here are five examples.

China 2700 B.CE. Jade knuckles were used to massage the body and face. Jade was considered a symbol of health, purity, and beauty.

Babylon 1,700 B.CEE. The code of Hammurabi mentions a physician healing the diseased soft part of a man, which is an inference to manually treating soft tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Egypt, 1,300 B.CE. This rendering of a painting shows King Tut’s wife anointing him with perfumed oil.

Indonesia 700 CE. This Buddhist temple in Java has a carved stone relief. The source text says, “Lord Buddha receives a manual treatment which is an inference to massage.
