The Benefits of
Massage
Most people know that massage therapy
is a proven and effective means of relaxation and stress relief. Massage therapy
can also provide a number of therapeutic benefits, such as:
- Reduce stress and tension
- Improve flexibility
- Increase endorphins (your body's
natural painkiller)
- Assist in recovery from sports
activities and injuries
- Strengthen your immune system
- Improve circulation problems
- Alleviate chronic and temporary
pain
- Relax muscle spasms
- Massage dilates blood vessels and
relieves congestion throughout the body
- Massage acts as a "cleanser,"
stimulating lymph circulation and hastens the elimination of toxins
- Massage increases blood supply and
nutrition without adding toxic lactic acid, produced through voluntary muscle
contraction
- Massage helps to prevent buildup of
harmful "fatigue" products resulting from strenuous exercise or injury
- Massage improves muscle tone and
helps prevent muscle atrophy resulting from inactivity
- Massage encourages the retention of
nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur; necessary for tissue repair in people who
suffer from bone fractures
- Massage makes you feel "Brand New!"
- Massage is for Every BODY!
