What are the benefits of massage?
Stress relief....
Muscle aches and pains....when a muscle is stressed, cirulation is reduced and both oxyen and nutriens are blocked. Massage is a terrific way to loosen up muscles, increase the circulation and bring oxyen and nutrients back to the area.
Anti-aging Tool....Massage can help keep your skin nice and firm. The idea is that kneading muscle tissue improves blood circulation, which in turn delievers oxygen and nutrients to the treated area. As a result collagen fibres contained in the skin are more likely to retain their elasticity.
