Julius Caesar and Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a disease that causes extreme pain in the muscles and fibrous tissues. A rare condition, only 3-5% of women and .5% of men suffer from it. Julius Caesar had epilepsy and fibromyalgia. In order to alleviate his pain, he would have himself "pinched all over" on a daily basis.

Ugh, chronic pain is definitely a reason to have massages on a routine basis. Lucky Caesar to have had the resources to have them on a daily basis. I'd be in heaven with just once a month!
