There are many benefits of massage.

Physically, massage increases metabolism, speeds healing, relaxes and refreshes the muscles, and improves the detoxifying functions of the lymphatic system.

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

Massage encourages the nutrition and development of the muscular system by stimulating it's circulation, nerve supply and cellular activities.

Muscle tissue that has suffered injury heals more quickly with less connective tissue buildup and scarring when therapeutic massage is applied regularly.

Friction massage prevents and reduces the development of adhesions and excess scarring following trauma.

Massage can have positive effects on the range of motion of limbs that have a limited range due to tissue injury, inflammation, muscle tension, or strain.
