| What is Therapeutic Massage |
Therapeutic Massage uses specific techniques to stretch and lengthen connective tissues and muscles, bringing wellness, a sense of relaxation and mobility to the client. One of the primary goals of Therapeutic Massage is to speed venous blood return from the extremities (arms and legs). Therapeutic Massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissue of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It improves circulation and stretches the ligaments and tendons, keeping them subtle. Therapeutic Massage stimulates the skin and nervous system. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It also has specific clinical uses in a medical or remedial therapy program. Therapeutic Massage is greatly beneficial and can reduce symptoms by relaxing tension in the muscles, stimulating flow of blood through muscles, breaking down and eliminating toxins, enhancing oxygenation of the brain and relaxing the nervous system and mind. |
| Health Benefits of Therapeutic Massage |
