Reasons To Have A Massage
Massage can:
- Stimulate the lymph system, the body’s natural defence, against toxic invaders.
- Relax and soften injured and overused muscles, reducing spasms and cramping.
- Provide arthritis relief by increasing joint flexibility.
- Reduce recovery time for strenuous workouts and eliminate subsequent pains of the athlete at any level.
- Reduce post-surgery adhesions and oedema and reduce and realign scar tissue after healing has occurred.
- Contribute to shorter labour and reduce tearing for expectant mothers.
- Increase activity of the vagus nerve that affects the secretion of food absorption hormones, heart rate and respiration.
- eases tense and knotted muscles and stiff joints, improving mobility and flexibility.
- Stronger massage stimulates blood circulation to improve the supply of oxygen and nutrients to body tissues and helps the lymphatic system to flush away waste products.
- Eases pain and anxiety
