Effects and Benefits of Massage- Part 1 of Series

admin — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:38:08 +0000

Massage has direct psychological and physiological benefits. Physically, massage increases metabolism, hastens healin, relaxes and refreshes the muscles, and improves the functions of the lymphatic system. Massage helps to prevent and relieve muscle cramps and spasms and improves circulation of blood and lymph, thereby improving the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells as it enhances the removal of metabolic wastes. Because blood carries nutrients to the skin, massages is beneficial in keeping the skin functioning in a normal, healthy manner. Massage therapy is effective in pain management in conditions such as arthritis, neuritis, neuralgia, labor and delivery, whiplash, muscular lesions, sciatica, headache, muscle spasms, and many other conditions.

Psychologically, massage relieves fatigue, reduces tension and anxiety, calms the nervous system, and promotes a sense of relaxation and renewed energy.

There are indications that massage is beneficial in numerous conditions. Massage has been credited with being of great benefit in helping patients recover from carious illnesses or injuries.

Physiological Effect of Massage

Skillfully applied massage is an effective means of influencing the structures and functions of the body. The specific effects of any massage will vary according to the intent with which it is given, the selection of techniques used, and the condition of the client. Depending on the type and manner of manipulation, a sense of mild relaxation, stimulation, or refreshment may follow massage. Under no circumstances should massage be applie so vigorously that it causes the client to feel exhausted or results in bruised or injured tissues.

There are two physical effects of massage, mechanical and reflex, which may occur separately or together. Mechanical effects are direct physical effects of the massage techniques on the tissues they contact. Reflex effects of massage are indirect responses to touch that affect body functions and tissues through the nervous or energy systems of the body. Gentle stimulation of the sensory nerve endings in the skin, as in superficial stroking, results in reflex effects, either locally or in distant parts of the body. When pressure is applied to the muscles, blood, and lymph vessels, or to any internal structure, both reflex and direct mechanical effects are experienced. Pressure on reflex points, active trigger points, and other pressure points reflexively affects functions or areas of the body away from the actual point of contact.

The immediate effects of massage are noticeable on the skin. Friction and stroking movements heighten blood circulation to the skin and increase activity of the sweat (sudoriferous) and oil (sebaceous) glands. Accompanying the increased flow of blood, there is a slight reddening and warming of the skin. Nutrition to the skin is improved. Massage treatments over a period of time impart a healthy radiance to the skin. The skin tends to become softer, more supple, and of finer texture.

The physiological effects of massage are not limited to the skin. The body as a whole benefits by the stimulation of muscular, glandular, and vascular activities. Most organs of the body are favorably influenced by clinical massage treatments.

Don’t let Winter keep you from preparing for a Beautiful Summer!

admin — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 05:23:36 +0000

Our skin needs more care now in the winter months.

Does your skin feel like paper about to tear as you stretch across your car seat to reach for something?

Are you getting hair removal in this condition?

Well your not getting the best results!

Have you tried to uproot a plant in cement dry soil?

That’s right! It’s probably just tearing from the surface point.

That is why when you get a professional epilatory service at a Salon or Day Spa in this condition,you are not getting a complete hair removal from the root.

The result is about the same as shaving except it’s called Breaking!

Extra water drinking is great, but you will also need to seal the skins moisture loss by using a lipid barrier such as a nourishing grain or nut oil.

These ingredients can be found in a single base or combined in body creams.

So come in and naturally exfoliate that winter skin while getting a gentle effective hair removal by Sugaring. All Sugaring services will be followed with a skin soothing and remineralizing Hungarian Mud treatment Masque.

This wonderful hair removal and skin care treatment will finish by sealing the skin with

a nourishing chamomile based moisturizer.
