Massage is great at boosting two main functions of the body.
The delivery of nutrients to cells.
The elimination of waste products.
During massage blood vessels are constricted and dilated which restrict and restore the flow of blood around the body. This increases circulation and helps toxins and waste products such as lactic acid (fatigue product) filter through the lymphatic system, this revitalises muscles and can aid muscle tone too.
A massage can have the same benefits of recovery as 7-8 hours of sleep.
Can be a form of mild exercise to those whom have have time off through injury or illness due to the stimulation of muscles.
Increasingly backed by many health care professionals as problem solving solution to muscle pain and strains brought on by everyday issues.
