Believe it or not, massage is something we all do
Naturally everyday of our lives. Whether it’s
Rubbing an aching shoulder or stroking a furrowed
Brow, we all try to alleviate our aches and pains
With our hands and we’ve been doing it for centuries.

What is Massage?

Healing therapies known to man, massage is an
Extension of a basic instinct seen in animals and
Humans alike; apes groom each other, animals lick
Their wounds, humans rub away their aches and pains.
The basis of massage is touch -- the most fundamental
Of human needs; in fact, touch is so important that if
It is absent or withdrawn it can lead to all sorts of
Problems, ranging from failure to thrive in babies,
Irritability and bad behavior in children, and depression
In adults.

The Profound Effects of Massage?

Massage relaxes, stimulates, detoxifies, comforts,
Soothes, shows caring and empathy, relieves stress,
Anxiety, and depression, alleviates pain, reduces
Symptoms of minor illnesses, and improves emotional
And physical well-being.

Skeletal System:

Bone is affected indirectly by massage.
Improved circulation of blood brings
Oxygen and nutrients to the bones.
Joint stiffness and pain can be reduced
As muscles become more flexible,
Joint movement increases.

Muscular System:

Some massage movements relax and
Stretch muscles, reducing muscular
Tension and cramps. Massage also
Makes muscles more flexible by
Reducing muscle tone. Muscles tired
By exercise are more quickly restored
By massage than by rest.

Nervous System:

Soothing massage can provide relief from
Nervous irritability and stress related
Conditions, such as insomnia and tension
Headaches. When used energetically to
Stimulate, massage may relieve lethargy
And fatigue.

Circulatory System:

Massage can improve the flow of blood
Which can help poor circulation. This is
Especially useful for anyone who is
Immobile.

Lymphatic System:

Gentle massage stimulates the lymphatic system, which
Helps clear the body of a buildup of waste products. The
Relaxing effect of the massage can relieve stress, which
In turn can boost the immune system.

Respiratory System:

As you become more relaxed during a massage, respiration
May become slower and deeper since you are using your
Diaphragm for breathing and expending less energy.
Physiotherapists use cupping movements over the base of
The lungs to relieve chest congestion.

Digestive System:

Massage aids relaxation and therefore can help increase
The movement of food and waste products through the
Digestive system. This relaxation can have a balancing
Effect on the digestive system.

Urinary System:

Waste products that have been released during massage
Find their way via the blood to the kidney’s where they
May be filtered out and eliminated.
