THE BENEFITS OF MASSAGE

It is well known that massage promotes muscular relaxation, reduces cramps,
spasms and anxiety.

Research has shown that massage also:

Promotes the circulation of blood and lymph, that aids the healing of muscles and other soft tissue.
Can reduce oedema, both chronic and post operative, by hastening the removal of by products and reducing inflammation.
Decreases adhesions between scar tissue in muscles, ligaments and tendons.
Assist recovery from sporting injuries.
Helps with the rehabilitation of injuries by increasing muscle tone and flexibility.
Is a useful palliative treatment in the management of both chronic and acute pain.
Heightens a sense of vitality and wellbeing, while reducing anxiety and tension, making it a suitable adjunct to the treatment of stress, functionally impaired or psychiatric conditions.
