What Are the Benefits of Remedial Massage?

Remedial massage is the scientific deep tissue rubbing of muscle groups to induce positive or healing benefits in people or animals. Massage relieves stress and dysfunction within some of the major bodily systems, including the circulatory, muscular, nervous and skeletal systems.

Circulatory System

• All systems within a massaged area experience improved blood circulation, which prompts the removal of harmful or painful toxins and the influx of beneficial nutrients and oxygen.

Muscular System

• Massage encourages the development, elasticity and function of muscles. Massage is also a resolution and preventative treatment for muscular cramps and fatigue.

Nervous System

• Massage stimulates the nerves and glands and promotes cellular repair. Beneficial neurochemicals such as endorphines are released through remedial massage, as well as the production of detrimental hormones such as cortisol decreases.

Skeletal System

• Posture and joint mobility are improved through remedial massage and the healthy growth of bones, joints and ligaments is induced.

General

• Specific health issues are relieved or healed through remedial massage, including fibrositis, arthritis, spondylitis, muscular atrophy, sinus problems and accidental injuries such as whiplash or sprains.
