Every body is different, therefore the techniques used in the healing process differ from patient to patient. Massage can treat an array of issues, such as stress, anxiety, muscle pain, fatigue and tension. Massage can be used for pure relaxation or as a preventitive health measure. Getting massages regularly is a great way to prevent serious injury.
Muscle has memory and when placed into specific movements they remember what their range of motion is. It may take some time but eventually your body will know what to do. For an example, an athlete who competes at a high level sport and then breaks a leg. Massage can be used along with physical therapy for rehabilitation purposes. This becomes extremely vital when a body goes through a traumatic experience.
During massage our bodies go through "physiological" change. One of these responses is called " the relaxation response". This is an involuntary, yet predictable response of the Nervous system. A "mechanical" response is a physical effect that occurs when pressure is applied to soft tissue. Too much to fast can injure tissue, The correct amount of applied pressure will vary from patient to patient. Both the "relaxation" and "mechanical" responses can produce physical and emotional benefits. Massage also helps promote healing by increased circulation, which moves toxins through and out of your body faster than normal. This change takes place at a metabolic level. Some patient's may feel dizzy or light headed after a massage. This is due to the toxin levels moving through your system. Drinking lots of water after a massage will not only help flush those toxins through the body but water acts as a lubricant as well.
