Massage is vastly perceived as a simple mechanical action on soft tissue and blood vessels. It is less known that there is a strong emotional component that contributes to a good massage therapy session. Here are some of the benefits of Massage Therapy:

• Helps relieve muscular spasm and tension; the massage create awareness for tensioned areas and the patient then begin to consciously release that tension.
• Massage therapy improves joint flexibility and mobility; the articulations suffer of weak blood flow, and joint traumas are the most difficult to heal for that reason. Massage manipulations have an excellent vasodilator influence, and increase the blood circulation in joint capsules. In this manner injured articulations, tendons and ligaments, will profit from an improved flow of blood, hence, faster healing.
• Massage promotes faster healing of soft tissue injuries; By applying friction, the soft tissue warms up and it softens, it increases the quality of dermal collagen and elastic fibers, helping partial or total resorption of scar indurations.
• By helping your body circulate this lymph fluid mas­sage aids in the elimination of toxins.
• Touch promotes the release of human growth hormone (HGH), which is essential to our development.
• Improves lymph and blood circulation; the massage movements physically push the blood and lymph in their vessels and can therefore, when done properly, push it in the right direction, increasing circulation. Poor lymphatic or blood circulation, may be brought back to proper working levels by massage manipulations.
• Increases healthy functioning of the skin; massage helps the skin "breathe." It promotes the shedding of dead cells while also encouraging the absorption of moisture, nutrients, vitamins, and other vital elements.
• Raises immune efficiency and detoxify the body; your lymph system has nodes at various strategically located areas through­out your body, and these nodes have the job of capturing the invaders and processing them before eventual expulsion through your excretory system. By employing specific  massage therapy techniques we stimulate the transport of fatty acids and cholesterol, we improve the nutrients exchange and waste elimination. The immunity mechanisms are stimulated by exciting the lymph nodes. Massage boosts the elimination of fluids and reduces stasis. Reflexotherapy is an excellent way to boost the immune system.
• Massage has a positive influence on the endocrine and nervous systems; Promotes deep relaxation; if you receive a massage you are relaxing no matter what. Slower, delicate, and calming massage moves are very efficient against intellectual tensions, pain, stress and anxiety. The relaxing effect and the elimination of fatigue are obtained by soothing the endocrine and the nervous systems, positively controlling the levels of hormones. Through carefully selected massage techniques we can stimulate the production of endorphins, while reducing the production of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline.
• Revitalizes skin’s condition and improves appearance; the skin will be healthier hence the better look, relaxation will show up on your face and your eyes. The hyperemia, an effect produced by certain massage maneuvers, such as friction, helps the skin to regain firmness and elasticity. The enhanced exfoliation produced by the massage manipulations, will help the skin look and feel better.
• Increased psychological balance; massage, by stimulating the tactile sense, is the best way to communicate emotional information. Massage fulfills the our need for touch. It is known that regular massage improves emotional well-being, it lowers stress levels and brings mental stability. Other psychological benefits are an enhanced focus and a better concentration.
  An extremely important benefit is the increased awareness of the body, obtained through a massage session.
• Massage reduces fat; Massage therapy facilitates lipolysis, which in turn will result in fat mass loss. Massage therapy sustains connective tissue flexibility and combats excess fatty deposit. Select massage moves help reducing cellulite.
• Massage therapy enhances the digestive function; massage has been proven to provide great results in improving digestion, reducing constipation and flatulence and promoting general easier elimination. Massage can help for indigestions by direct maneuvers on the stomach, or by manipulating reflexogenic points.
• Body rubs are effective for sports performance; Sport massage maneuvers promote muscle contractility and elasticity by increasing the muscle blood supply. More blood means more oxygen flow and more nutrients to muscles. The improved oxygenation and nutrition delays anoxia and glycolysis, resulting in an improved muscle metabolism, efficiency and functioning. After sport events or intensive training massage is effective for faster recuperation by reducing muscle tension. Employing relaxing techniques we help the muscles relax and aid in a faster muscle recuperation.
