What are the benefits of
Massage?
Body Massage is an age-old
alternative therapy that has survived history to become one of the leading
alternative treatments available today. The benefits of massage are numerous
and a good massage not only has physical, but psychological benefits as well.
It is well known that massage benefits the muscles by loosening ‘knots’ and
helping maintain good muscle tone, but there are other benefits that are not so
widely known.
Massage has been shown to stimulate both the circulatory and lymphatic systems,
which can aid faster removal of waste products and an increased absorption of
oxygen to the cells. Certain types of massage strokes can loosen scar tissue
and adhesions while others can produce stimulation of the nervous system.
Massage also helps shed skin and massage oils, such as grape seed oil or almond
oil, help nourish and provide the skin with vitamins.
There are many psychological benefits of massage. Massage can relax or
stimulate, depending on desired outcome, it relieves fatigue, tiredness and can
reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and tension.
