| Benefits of a Massage |
| |
|
Therapeutic massage is being prescribed by physicians to complement traditional
medical treatment for illness, injury, and pain.
Massage is beneficial to all body systems and is a natural and effective way to treat both physical and psychological conditions. It is a non-invasive therapy with the following benefits and effects:
Soothing: Touch is known to be soothing and comforting and massage uses touch to sooth and relax the body. Since 75% of disease is thought to be caused by stress, massage - which reduces stress - may help to improve overall health.
Stimulating: The systems of the body are stimulated and activated by massage. It therefore encourages improved circulation; aids digestion, waste removal and neural communication; invigorates and relaxes muscles and promotes cell regeneration.
Comforting: Touch is natural and comforting. People of all ages use touch to gain a sense of security and well-being.
Instinctive: When we knock and hurt ourselves, we often use our hands to rub or touch the affected area. Massage is an extension of this natural and instinctive method of soothing aches and pains.
Safe: Massage is a safe, non-invasive, natural therapy.

A therapeutic massage can be used not only for relaxation but also to aid aching muscles or for stress management.
Fascia is a very densely woven, single structure that extends from head to foot. It covers and interpenetrates every muscle, bone, nerve, artery, vein and internal organ. In a normal healthy state, fascia is relaxed and has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. Scarring and inflammation due to physical trauma such as an injury, surgery or habitual poor posture has a cumulative effect on the comfort and functioning of the body. Myofascial Release is effective in releasing pain and restoring motion
