Benefits and Effects of Massage Therapy

There are several physiological benefits associated with massage therapy. For example, massage therapy can:

Maintain body in better condition

Prevent injuries and loss of mobility

Cure and restore mobility to injured muscle tissue

Promote the feeling of wellbeing.

Physical effects of massage are:

-Pumping – The stroking movements in massage suck fluid through blood vessels and lymph vessels.  By increasing the pressure in front of the stroke, a vacuum is created behind.  This is especially important in tight or damaged muscle tissue as a tight muscle will squeeze blood out like a sponge, depriving the tissues of vital nutrients and energy to repair.

-Increased tissue permeability – Deep massage causes the pores in tissue membranes to open, enabling fluids and nutrients to pass through.  This helps remove waste products such a lactic acid and encourages the muscles to take up oxygen and nutrients which help them recover more quickly.

-Stretching – Massage can stretch tissues that could not be stretched in the usual methods.  Bundles of muscle fibres are stretched lengthwise as well as sideways.  Massage can also stretch the sheath of fascia that surrounds the muscle, so releasing any tension or pressure build up.

-Break down scar tissue – Scar tissue is the result of previous injuries or trauma and can affect muscle, tendons and ligaments.  This can lead to inflexible tissues that are prone to injury and pain.

-Improve tissue elasticity – Hare training can make tissues hard and inelastic.  Massage helps to reverse this by stretching the tissues.

-Opens micro-circulation – Massage does increase blood flow to tissues, but so does exercise.  What massage also does is open or dilate the blood vessels and by stretching them this enables nutrients to pass through more easily.

Physiological effects of massage are:

-Pain reduction – Tension and waste products in muscles can often cause pain.  Massage helps reduce this in many ways including releasing the body's endorphins.

-Relaxation – Muscles relax through heat generated, circulation and stretching.  Mechanoreceptors which sense touch, pressure, tissue length and warmth are stimulated causing a reflex relaxation.

-Anxiety reduction – Through the effects mentioned above, relaxation is induced and so reduces anxiety levels.

-Invigoration – If massage is done with brisk movements such as what would be done before a sports event, then this can produce an invigorated feeling.

I have been working with both hypnotherapy and therapeutic massage for seven years.  I particularly like working with people who wish to stop smoking, who are due to have an operation and mums to be for the birthing process.  I find that hypnotherapy works well and that clients have been very happy with the results.

Will a body massager help in blood circulation?

I have cellulite and I purchased a body massager with the different knobs like the deep muscle one and etc.... Okay, if I use the massager on say my thighs and I start feeling that itchy, tingly feeling, does that mean I am increasing blood circulation or just irritating my skin?

a massager wouldnt hurt but other therapies would be better. cardiovascular excersize (increasing your heart rate to 150 beats per minute for 20 to 30 minutes would have many health benifits includinging increasing blood circulation as well as reducing ur cellulite. heat theapy (hot tubs, heating pads and such) is also a viable alternative....
