Massage Benefits
Benefits of Regular Massage
Massage will benefit each system of the body as well as having positive effects on the organs, skin, hair and nails.
Circulatory and Lymphatic System
Improved function of the heart aids circulation and encourages delivery of nutrients and oxygen to muscles, soft tissue and cells.
The lymphatic system relies heavily on the correct functioning of the heart and is responsible for removing toxins and excess water (water retention) from the body.
It is important to look after these systems as they are largely responsible for repairing the body and fighting infection and illness.
Muscular and Skeletal System
When muscles are tensed it can put the skeleton under strain therefore relaxing the muscles will in turn take pressure off joints and bones.
Aches and Pains within muscles are soothed and tension released. Toxins are drained from the muscles leaving them more relaxed. Muscle tone can also be improved.
Conditions such as arthritis can be helped by regular massage as stiffness will be alleviated through gentle manipulation of the joints.
Nervous System and Skin
The nervous system is directly affected through massage as obviously touch is involved.
Clients will feel soothed and de-stressed and may also benefit from better sleep patterns and a sense of well-being can be restored.
The skin will be softened and the top layer of dead skin cells removed. The colour elasticity and texture of the skin is improved and fatty tissue broken down.
