2.
Relieve Pain. Pain is often felt in the shoulders
and back . This may be the result of prolonged sitting, standing, carrying heavy objects and/or pregnancy. A massage session helps alleviate the pain you are feeling. Today, massage is not only used for relaxation purposes,it also plays a role in the therapeutic process of relieving pain. Different pressures are applied on certain areas.
3. Promote circulation and oxygenation
When a massage therapist manipulates body tissues she not only manipulates the muscles but also the blood vessels . How? Blood vessels carry the blood throughout the body. For every stroke applied to the muscles, the blood vessels and circulation are affected. The blood carries oxygen. Since massage helps
in blood circulation it also means that it helps distribute oxygen in the body.
4. Relieve sleeplessness/Insomnia. There are times when you experience difficulty trying
to sleep. A massage session helps you relax and relieve the stress you feel from your day.
5. Promote Flexibility.
Massage helps relieve tensed and knotted muscles. It promotes flexibility thus improving one’s range of motion. So, as you are getting your family back into their routine, don’t forget to take care of yourself!
