HOMEHealth Benefits of Massage
Massage can improve injury repair time, mental health and attitude, and performance at all levels. A typical massage will stretch and loosen muscles and connective tissue, improving blood and lymph flow throughout the body. This movement also helps the body remove metabolic wastes resulting from exercise or inactivity, and will pump oxygen and nutrients into the cells and tissues. Massage stimulates the sensory receptors in skin and muscles, which bring attention to areas that have been "cut off" by chronic tension.
Massage can also release endorphins, which the body creates to reduce pain. Through the muscular and chemical releases described above, massage helps to unblock and balance the flow of life energy through the human system (known in various cultures as life force, vital force, c'hi, prana, ki, kundalini, hara.)
