Why Massage Therapy?

Circulatory system: Enhances venous return, and reduces blood pressure and heart rate with regular relaxation massage.

Digestive system: Improves movement of contents in large intestine, better digestion with relaxation.

Nervous System: Stimulates parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation), reduces pain (neural-gating mechanism), and increases body awareness.

Endocrine System: Release of endorphins (also involves the nervous system), increases dopamine for fine motor coordination, increases human growth hormone for healing, increases serotonin for sleep cycles, and decreases cortisol stress hormones.

Integumentary System: Stimulates sensory receptors in the skin, increases superficial circulation, removes dead skin, adds moisture with oil or lotion, and increases sebaceous gland secretions. (A.K.A. Skin)

Connective Tissue: (A-K-A fascia) Fascia connects everything in the body, wrapping, supporting, guiding, and providing boundaries. Massage improves the pliability of fascia and separates tissues.

Muscular System: Metabolic wastes into venous and lymph flow, decreases muscular tension, relaxes muscles(general and specific) and relieves fascial trigger points.

Skeletal system: Increases joint mobility and flexibility.
Immune System: Increases lymphatic flow and improves immune functions via stress reduction.

Massage also affects mental and emotional aspects by:
Increasing relaxation (increasing alpha waves) Increasing the sense of well-being, decreases anxiety releasing suppressed emotions (cellular memory,”the issue is in the tissue”)
