Physical Benefits
| Massage Relaxes Tense Muscles |
| Muscles can become
tight and ineffective for many reasons. Stress, injury, poor circulation,
overuse, and misuse can all cause you pain and discomfort as well
as restrict your normal range of motion. When left unattended, these
conditions can become habitual and hamper the quality of your everyday life. Massage therapy stretches and loosens tight muscles and connective tissue, breaking down and preventing further formation of adhesions, freeing your range of motion and reducing the dangers of fibrosis. |
| Massage Increases Blood Circulation |
| Massage therapy
releases contracted muscles and pushes venous blood towards the heart,
thus easing the strain on this vital organ. This increase in circulation
brings energy producing nutrients and oxygen to your cells as well
as carries away metabolic waste products that can make you feel listless
and drained. In addition, massage therapy increases your body's oxygen-carrying red blood cell count helping to bring even more oxygen to your body's cells. |
| Massage Decreases Chronic Pain |
| Not only does
massage therapy help to correct the conditions that cause chronic
pain, but it also acts in two ways to decrease the actual pain itself. The first is by the trained touch of a massage therapist activating nerve receptor signals along myelinated nerve fibers to temporarily block chronic pain signals from reaching the brain. The second is by the stimulated release of endorphins (the body's natural painkiller) into the brain and nervous system to reduce your feelings of pain and discomfort without the use of unnatural drugs. |
| Massage Strengthens the Immune System |
| The lymphatic
system is a major factor in your body's battle to ward off infection
and heal injuries. The lymphatic flow is usually very sluggish in
most people and especially in those that have less active life styles. Massage therapy not only improves the circulation of blood and its vital nutrients, but also increases circulation of lymph in your lymphatic system thus helping your body fight off infection and speeds recovery from injuries and illness. |
