The
Benefits of Massage |
|
Far
beyond simply helping one feel good, massage has an impressive range
of health benefits. Research studies conducted in the United
States, Europe and Asia have documented the positive effects of
massage on adults with job-related stress and anxiety,
cocaine-exposed infants, pre-term newborns, adolescents, with anxiety
disorders, and the immune function of HIV-positive males. |

With a
variety of hands-on methods, a skilled massage therapist not only
stretches and loosens muscle and connective tissue, but also improves
blood flow and the movement of lymph throughout the body. The
therapists, hands facilitate the removal of metabolic waste products
resulting from exercise or inactivity, allowing oxygen and nutrients
to reach the cells and tissues. Sensory receptors in skin and
muscles "wake up", bringing new awareness to areas that have been "cut
off" by chronic tension patterns.
In
addition, massage can stimulate the release or endorphins - the body's
natural painkillers - into the brain and nervous system.
