Massage reduces muscular tension using the application of pressure against underlying tissue and bones. Toxins are released from the muscles and the circulation is stimulated, increasing the flow of blood, carrying essential nutrients and oxygen to the muscles and tendons. The flexibility and extensibility of muscles, tendons and ligaments is greatly improved, so with regular massage your body becomes more supple.
The lymphatic system complements the venous system in helping rid the body of metabolic waste. All too often it is underactive, causing edema, or puffiness, a sluggish immune system and toxicity. Regular massage stimulates the lymphatic flow, boosting immunity at a cellular level, reducing scar tissue and breaking down cellulite.
Massage nourishes and stimulates the skin, enhancing its health and beauty, and also the parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces stress. |
