Massage therapy

  • Massage dilates the blood vessels, improving the circulation and relieving congestion throughout the body.
  • Massage acts as a “mechanical cleanser” stimulating lymph circulation and hastening the elimination of wastes and toxic debris.
  • Massage increases the number of red blood cells especially in cases of anemia.
  • Massage increases blood supply and nutrition to muscles without adding to their load of toxic lactic acid, produced through voluntary muscle contraction. Massage thus helps to prevent buildup of harmful “fatigue” products resulting from strenuous exercise or injury.
  • Massage can compensate, in part, for lack of exercise and muscular contraction in persons who because of injury, illness or age are forced to remain inactive. In these cases, massage helps return venous blood to the heart and so eases the strain on this vital organ.
  • Massage improves muscle tone and helps prevent or delay muscular atrophy resulting from forced inactivity.
  • Massage may have a sedative, stimulating or even exhausting effect on the nervous system depending on the type and length of massage treatment given.
  • According to some authorities, massage may burst the fat capsule in subcutaneous tissue so that the fat exudes and becomes absorbed. In this way massage, combined with a nutritious but calorie-deficient diet, can be an aid to reducing.
  • Massage increases the excretion (via the kidneys) of fluids and waste products of protein metabolism, inorganic phosphorus and salt in normal individuals.
  • Massage by improving the general circulation, increases nutrition of the tissues. It is accompanied or followed by an increased interchange of substances between the blood and tissue cells heightening tissue metabolism.
  • Massage encourages the retention of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur necessary for tissue repair in persons convalescing from bone fractures.
  • Massage improves the circulation and nutrition of joints and hastens the elimination of harmful deposits. It helps lessen inflammation and swelling in joints and so alleviates pain.
  • Massage stretches connective tissue, improves its circulation and nutrition and so breaks down or prevents the formation of adhesions and reduces the danger of fibrosis.
  • Massage helps to reduce edema (or dropsy) of the extremities.
  • Massage disperses the edema following injury to ligaments.
  • Massage makes you feel good!
