Massage Therapy
How Does Massage Work?
Massage therapy is a body work technique that involves the application of pressure to muscle tissue in order to relieve pain and dysfunction. When a muscle or group of muscles incurs injury, it automatically contracts around the painful site to support and protect the area. If pain is resolved quickly, the muscles can relax. If pain persists, muscles can become habitually contracted. Sometimes contractions press on nerves causing tingling, numbness, and more pain. Like a sponge that is squeezed, a contracted muscle cannot hold much blood. Blood transports oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and caries away waste products. Thus, when a muscle is deprived of healthy circulation waste products accumulate. This can result in fatigue and soreness. One of the main functions of massage is to increase blood circulation which may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injury and illness.
