MY PHILOSOPHY - THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF MASSAGE
- Massage dilates blood vessels, improving the circulation of blood and oxygen to organs, muscles, joints, and the skin.
Massage increases the number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells.
- Massage acts as a “mechanical cleanser”, encouraging the elimination of metabolic wastes and toxic debris.
- Massage boosts the immune system by assisting the flow of lymph fluid and the production of white blood cells. Massage can speed healing from injury or disease.
- Massage relaxes muscle spasms and may relieve nerve impingements that are muscular in origin (i.e.: sciatica or carpel tunnel syndrome).
- Massage increases blood supply and nutrition to muscles without adding lactic acid, the by-product of voluntary muscle contraction. Massage aids in the elimination of lactic acid and muscle fatigue that result after strenuous exercise or injury.
- Massage improves muscle tone and elasticity, helping to delay muscular atrophy and stiffness resulting from forced inactivity. Massage increases the range of flexibility.
- Massage is passive form of exercise because it helps return venous blood flow to the heart. In cases where injury, illness, or age, force a person to remain inactive, massage can mimic muscular contraction to return blood to the heart.
Friction massage separates muscle fibers, reducing the occurrence of adhesions.
- Massage may have a stimulating, sedative, or even exhausting effect on the nervous system, depending on the type and length of treatment given.
- Massage is accompanied by an increased exchange of substances between the blood and tissue, heightening cellular metabolism.
- Massage stretches connective tissue and therefore minimizes the formation of adhesions, scar tissue and fibrosis.
- Massage disperses general edema and inflammation around joints, thereby lessening pain and facilitating movement.
- Massage can relieve fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia, hyperactivity, and mental-emotional stress. Massage promotes healthy body-awareness and body-image. It boosts energy levels, productivity, and creates a sense of well-being.
