Swedish massage techniques include deep kneading strokes that help decrease tension that builds up within the muscles and muscle coverings called fascia.
Muscle adhesions are responsible for decreased range in motion and improper function.Muscles that are subjected to added stress and poor posture or injury tend to shorten and tighten, adding tension to the nearby joints.Massage reduces tension and lengthens muscles relieving stress.
When a muscle is injured increased bloodflow to the area helps speed healing .
Massage dilates or opens blood vessels ,improving the flow of fluid ,oxygen and other nutrients to the injured area.
Massage will thus speed up the healing process of said injury.
When range of motion is decreased due to muscles becoming short and tight or having built up adhesions within them,the body's normal response is to lay down scar tissue in order to stabilise the area.This scar tissue will later cause decreased range in motion and other painful issues.Massage will breakdown adhesions and lengthen muscles ,restoring proper range of movement,which is nessecary to maintain full joint health.
Consider massage for your tired, sore muscles and to help keep your body as well as your mind healthy.
