Like squeezing a sponge, techniques used in massage therapy release contracted muscles and push venous blood towards the heart, thus easing the strain on this vital organ. This increase in circulation brings nutrients and oxygen to your cells and carries away metabolic waste products. As massage relaxes tight muscles and improves circulation, nerves are relieved from compression and greater blood flow brings vital nutrients to the nerves improving your overall nerve function. Sensory recept0rs in the skin and muscles "wake up" and are re-energized, bringing awareness to areas that have felt cut off by chronic tension patterns.
