Massage has a huge number of benefits to all the bodies systems. By massaging and relaxing specific muscles there is a knock on effect to other parts of the body. Massage will also bring about relaxation, bringing a state of homeostatsis, a place of balance where the body can repair and renew.
Through over use and also through stress muscles can stay in a contracted state. This causes imbalance in the body. Tight muscles will pull posture out of alignment and can restrict bloodflow leading to headaches and/or cramps.
Benefits of massage include:
- Improved muscle tone
- Reduced cramps and headaches
- Improved posture
- Improved blood flow (Cardio-vascular)
- Lowers blood pressure
- Removes toxins
- Helps ‘feel good’ factor
