How Good Is Massage?

Right back to the very earliest times human beings have stroked or applied pressure to parts of their bodies when there was stiffness, numbness or pain. This instinctive behaviour pre-dates medicine and yet less emphasis is given to it in these modern times. Tension, stress, aches and pains can all be alleviated with the application of digital and palmar pressure.

The earliest mention of massage appeared in Chinese literature around 2700 BC. Hippocrates [460-357 BC] utilised massage but he called it "Anatripsis".

Regular massage can improve a;range of movement of joints, improve recovery following fatiguing exercise, assist in the prevention of injuries during sporting or physical activities.

Benefits include improved vascular and lymphatic circulation, as well as a more relaxed nervous system. An improved metabolism is achieved from regular massage as waste products are eliminated from the deep tissues.
