BENEFITS OF MASSAGE

Massage opens up blood vessels, improving the circulation and relieving congestion.

Massage increases the number of red blood cells and blood supply/nutrition to muscles without adding to their load of toxic lactic acid, produced through voluntary muscle contractions.

Massage assists the body in recovery from strenuous exercise or injury.

Massage improves muscle tone and helps prevent muscular atrophy resulting from forced inactivity. Cross fiber or deep tissue massage seperates muscle fibers, undoing or preventing the formation of sometimes painful adhesions or "knots".

Massage may have sedative, stimulating effect on the nervous system depending on the type and length of treatment given.

Massage improves the general circulation and nutrition of tissues and also increases interchange of substances between the blood and tissue cells, heightening tissue metabolism.

Massage stretches connective tissue, improves its circulation and nutrition and so breaks down or prevents the formation of painful adhesions or knots.

Massage improves the circulation and nutrition of joints and hastens the elimination of harmful particles or toxins. Massage assists in significantly reducing inflammation and swelling in joints and thus relieves pain and speeds up recovery time after injury.

Massage disperses the swelling/edema following injury to ligaments and tendons, reducing pain and helps facilitate movement.
