Therapeutic massage is effective because it promotes
normal functioning of areas that have been injured or chronically stressed.
The process involves the systematic stroking, kneading and pressing of
the soft tissues of the entire body, with focus on problem areas. This
skillful manipulation of the muscles, ligaments and tendons adds up to
several specific benefits.
Agility - skillful massage can help break up scar tissue and stretch
adhesions that restrict movement, or it can loosen up a stiff joint.
Breathing - by promoting the drainage of fluids, and by eliminating
tension in the chest, shoulders, and abdomen - full, proper breathing
becomes possible.
Circulation - it assists the flow of blood through the capillaries,
veins and arteries, and increases circulation throughout the entire body.
Digestion - stress impedes digestion and massage is a stress reducer,
and its application is known to stimulate the moving action of the intestines.

body via the lymph system, and it can release energy blocks that often

exercise, and it reduces pain by helping to relieve the inflammation.
