What are the Benefits of Massage?
Why not use regular massage by way of prevention rather then cure? Massage oxygenates the blood thereby improving blood flow to the brain and dramatically increasing energy levels. Increased circulation of oxygenated blood to the muscles promotes healing and the drainage of toxins. This helps strengthen the immune system and reduces illness and absenteeism. It relieves stress related conditions as it promotes deep relaxation. It eases stiffness and discomfort of postural tension by stretching and warming the muscles as well as deeper work to remove fibrous knots and congestion. (Deeper tissue work is particularly good for those who regularly participate in sporting activities).
The most common benefits are:
- Increase in energy levels and morale
- Instant relief for upper back problems
- Reduction in the likelihood of repetitive strain injuries and upper body muscular tension
- Decrease in headaches and back pain
- Release of tension in the back, neck & shoulders
- Identification of staff who may be at risk of muscular-skeletal conditions
