Why Every Body Needs Massage |

Here are some of the benefits of massage:
Reduces soreness
Standard Swedish massage compresses tissue which increases the flow of blood and lymph to the area. Blood brings fresh oxygen to muscle cells and lymph helps clear out metabolic debris and toxins that cause soreness.
Stretches muscles
As muscles are compressed and released with massage, they relax and resume their normal length. Once muscles are relaxed, they can be gently stretched further.
Increases flexibility
Tight muscles limit your range of motion. Massage loosens muscles so you can move easier and more fully.
Loosens adhesions
Cross-fiber friction is a deep massage performed across the grain of a muscle. It helps scar tissue be more pliable, and can help loosen adhesions.
