Massage works by tapping into the body’s extraordinary ability to heal itself, generating a host of positive changes along the way to enhance your health, fitness and general well being.
You’ll no doubt already know that massage is a tried and tested route to deep relaxation, but there’s so much more to it than that — much that is increasingly borne out by independent medical research.
Among the known benefits of massage are…
- improved blood circulation
- higher oxygen uptake
- enhanced lymphatic system circulation, allowing for better disposal of toxins
- restored joint mobility and flexibility
- diminished aches and pain
- increased endorphin release — the ‘feel good’ hormone!
- decreased stress, anxiety and depression, especially when associated with eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME)
