What Is Massage Therapy? |
|
Massage is a means of directly affecting the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems through manipulation of the soft tissues of the body.
Massage has a direct and indirect effect on all systems of the body:
- Circulatory System (Blood & Lymph)
- Muscular System
- Nervous System
- Respiratory System
Massage therapy can be of great benefit in the treatment of injuries and chronic medical conditions. It can offer relief from headache pain, and help patients achieve stress reduction and deep relaxation.
Massage is one of the oldest and least complicated medical treatments familiar to all cultures. The physical and psychological benefits of massage are outstanding when performed properly. Massage improves the circulation of blood, relaxes muscles, and will leave your mind comforted and at ease.
