Many people do not know the benefits of massage. See them listed below This list is from the American Massage Therapy Assoc. Massage dialates the blood vessels which improves circulation and relieves congestion throughout the body Relaxes muscle spasm and relieves tension Increases the excretion (via the kidnys) of fluids and waste products of protein metabolism, inorganic phosphorus and salt in normal individuals. Increases blood supply and nutrition to muscles without adding to their load of toxic lactic acid, produced through voluntary muscle contraction. Thus, it helps to prevent build-up of harmful "fatigue" products resulting from strenous exercise or injury. Improves muscle tone and helps prevent or delay muscular atrohy resulting from forced inactivity. Acts as a "mechanical cleanser" stimulating lymph circulation and hastening the elimination of wastes and toxic debris. By improving the general circulation, increases nutrition of the tissues.  It is accompanied or followed by an increased interchange of substances between the blood and tissue cells heightening tissue metabolism. Improves the circuation and nutrition of joints and hastens the elimination of harmful deposts. It helps lessen inflammation and swelling in joints and so alleviates pain. Helps to reduce edema (or dropsy) of the extremities. Disperses the edema following injury to ligaments and tendons, lessons pain and facilitates movement.
