Massage Therapy

Massages can produce mechanical pressure, which is expected to increase muscle compliance resulting in increased range of joint motion, decreased passive stiffness and decreased active stiffness (biomechanical mechanisms).

Research has shown that massage aids blood flow, and so delivers oxygen to all the body's cells, which we need for energy. Massage also helps your lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing toxins, waste build-up, and bacteria.

Massage helps to relieve tension by stretching and increasing tissue elasticity. High levels of tension in the muscles shorten the muscle fibers and can restrict movement. Massage can help to increase temperature of the soft tissue so muscles fibers can be loosened.
