Benefits of Massage
There are many ways in which massage can improve the quality of your life. Many people think the benefits of massage are restricted to relaxation (which in inself is hugely important!). But there are numerous other health and wellbring benefits.
Peer-reviewed medical research has shown that the benefits of massage include: pain relief, reduced anxiety and depression, and redcued blood pressure, heart rate. The release of endorphins and serotonin can: prevent fibrosis or scar tissue, increase the flow of lymph and improve sleep. Relief from pain due to musculoskeletal injuries and other causes is one of the other major benefits.
Massage stimulates the immune system by increasing blood flow and lymph drainage. It improves circulation and relieves congestion in the tissues. It stimulates the production of blood cells and promotes lymph flow which hastens the elimination of cellular waste. It helps to clear muscles of lactic and uric acid that build up during exercise and relaxes muscle hypertonicity as well as relieves muscle tension.
Other benefits include improving muscle tone and delaying muscle atrophy resulting from inactivity.
Massage assists the body's natural ability to heal itself. It relaxes and tones the muscles preventing injuries, increases circulation and therefore improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients ot all body cells.
