Benefits of Massage Therapy
Reduced muscle tension, stiffness, spasms. Massage loosens contracted, shortened, hardened
(tension) muscles increasing the circulation of the blood. Massage can also stimulate weak, flaccid
muscles, and relieve tension-related headaches and effects of eye-strain
Promotes Healing. Fosters faster healing of strained muscles and sprained ligaments; reduces pain
and swelling; reduces formation of excessive scar tissue
Relief of acute and chronic pain. Massage can promote recovery from the fatigue and from minor
aches and pains by removing impurities and reducing inflammation in the area.
Increased mobility and range of motion of joints. Massage provides a stretching action to both the
muscles and connective tissues that surround and support the muscles and many other parts of the
body, which helps keep these tissues elastic and improves range of motion (reduces chance of further
injury).
Improved blood circulation. The oxygen capacity of the blood can increase 10-15% after massage.
By indirectly or directly stimulating nerves that supply internal organs, blood vessels of these organs
dilate and allow greater blood supply to them. Massage also increases the movement of lymph. Since
lymph contains impurities and waste toxins, the movement can increase health.
Stimulated or soothed nervous system. Massage balances the nervous system by soothing or
stimulating it, depending on which effect is needed.
Enhanced skin condition. Massage enhances the skin condition by improving the function of the
sebaceous and sweat glands, keeping the skin lubricated, clean, and cool.
Better digestion and intestinal function. Massage increases the body's production of gastric juices,
saliva, and urine and increases excretion of nitrogen, inorganic phosphorus & salt. As a result, the
metabolic rate increases.
Better Quality of Life. Massage increases endorphins, which can increase your sense of well being.
Also reduced stress, cortisol levels, anxiety, tension, depression, pain.
