Massage has been performed in many cultures throughout the world dating back as far as 5, years. In all of these cultures, massage has been practiced as a form of wellness and for good reason. Massage positively impacts so many systems in the body. When you book your next session, you will feel the difference in your body as massage releases tension from the muscles and improves mobility of the joints.
You will also feel more relaxed as massage calms your nervous system. These are easy to notice. There are so many additional ways that massage helps the body that you may not notice. Massage increases the amount of blood in your body. After a massage both the numbers of red and white blood cells are increased which oxygenates your body and improves your immune system.
Massage gets your lymphatic system moving which helps move waste through the body. You can experience less swelling and improved detoxification after a massage. This can also benefit you as you experience less discomfort. Massage helps to unwind your fascia. Your connective tissue is very important in your body and encompasses all of your parts, muscles, organs, bones. Sometimes your connective tissue can get stuck on itself which prevents movement.
Massage can help your body move better by releasing the fascia. Your skin is your body's biggest organ for protection and keeping germs out. When getting a massage, the therapist will apply lotion or oil that will keep the skin smooth and hydrated. This will help the skin do its job as protector. Also, your therapist will be able to see the skin on the back of your body, a place that is often difficult to view.
Your therapist will pay attention to the health of the skin and let you know if there are any moles or marks that should be checked out by a doctor. And the list goes on! Dr, Tiffany Bright of the Touch Research Institute in Florida says after decades of research, that massage has improved nearly every condition that they have researched!
