| Massage is a proven technique practiced since 3000 b.c. It
takes many forms and when applied correctly, it can be an
extremely effective remedy to many musculo-skeletal and
physiological problems. |
Massage is the manipulation of body tissues to
produce therapeutic effects - both physical
and physiological. It works by: |
| |
 |
Increasing blood supply delivering nutrients
to tissues and flushing out waste products |
| |
Aiding tissue repair |
| |
Reducing stiffness, fatigue and pain |
| |
Increasing elasticity of tissue allowing normal
function and reducing risk of injury |
| |
Breaking down adhesions which may have
developed as a result of tension, poor posture
or injury |
| |
Correcting posture and aiding recovery from
injury |
| |
Calming the nervous system or stimulating as
necessary |
| |
Creating a feeling of well-being |
