Stress Can Kill Even a Healthy Person!
Experts estimate that 80 percent to 90 percent of disease is stress-related.
The Skeletal System: Bone is affected indirectly by massage. Improved circulation of blood brings oxygen and nutrients to the bones. Joint stiffness and pain can be reduced. As the muscles become more flexible, joint movement increases.
The Muscular System: Some massage movements relax and stretch muscles, reducing muscular tension and cramp. Massage also makes muscles more flexible by reducing muscle tone. Muscles tired by exercise are more quickly
How Does Massage Affect Our Bodies?Touch is fundamental to our physical and mental well-being. From the soothing touches of a mother on her baby's back to the healing massages that hospital nurses were known to do, touch brings a sense of caring and inspires trust. Touch is a natural and instinctive means of promoting relaxation and restoration to a sense of well-being. The touch of a massage therapist combines both science and art in a caring and trusting environment. Virtually every system of the body is affected by massage, either directly or indirectly. Here is a guide to
The Nervous System: Soothing massage can provide relief from nervous irritability and stress-related conditions such as insomnia and tension headaches. When used energetically to stimulate, massage may relieve lethargy and fatigue.Circulation System: Massage can improve the flow of blood, which can help poor circulation. This is especially useful for anyone who is immobile.Lymphatic System: Gentle massage stimulates the lymphatic system, which helps clear the body of a build-up of waste products. The relaxing effect of the massage can relieve stress, which in turn can boost the immune system.Digestive System: Massage aids relaxation and therefore can help to increase the movement of food and waste products through the digestive system. This relaxation can have a
balancing effect on the digestive system.
Urinary System: Waste products that have been released during massage find their way via the blood to the kidneys where they may be filtered out and eliminated.
Female Reproductive System: Menstrual problems such as period pains and PMS can be alleviated by the relaxing effects of massage, as can menopausal symptoms.
One of the most reported emotional benefits of massage is reduction of stress and anxiety. Massage can also stimulate the release of endorphins. Endorphins are neurotransmitters released by the brain that relieve pain and can induce euphoria.
