Massage is one of the oldest therapies known to man. Formalised and made popular by the Greeks and Romans it is natural that if we have a pain rubbing the injured area of the body makes us feel better. Massage works on lots of differant levels it can be used to relax the body when it is tired or stressed, it can be used to relieve pain and allow healing to commence.
The body is made up of cells that need a constant supply of blood to supply nurishment and to take away waste products. Movement and exercise help increase the flow of blood to all areas and the working muscles massage and stretch the body. When muscles fatigue or are injured this process can slow, waste products build up and cause localised pain. By squeezing, stretching and manipulating the muscles and limbs these blockages can be broken down and increase the rate of healing.
