What is Massage Therapy?
Massage Therapy is used to promote health and wellbeing through
the manipulation of soft tissues by trained massage therapists or remedial
therapists. It aims to relax and ease emotional and physical stress.
Regular massage improves the body’s natural healing process and is known to relieve
congestion in the soft tissues of the body by improving circulation, production
of red blood cells and promoting lymph flow which enhances the elimination
of cellular wastes. Massage is there to help reduce acid levels in the
muscles that were formed during exercise, and aid in relaxing the muscles
from tension and hypertonicity. Deep massage can separate fascia fibres
and prevent the formation of adhesions. Massage can also reduce the inflammation
in joints and soft tissues and alleviate or reduce pain, stiffness or
soreness.
