How Massage Help My Health?
Generally, people use massage for either general relaxation and wellbeing, or to address a speciffiic complaint, such as pain or limited range of motion. Research suggests massage therapy may contribute to both goals. Some of the general beneffiits of massage therapy may include:

Physical relaxation
Improved circulation, which nourishes cells and improves waste elimination
Relief for tight muscles (knots) and other aches and pains
Release of nerve compression (carpel tunnel, sciatica)
Greater ffllexibility and range of motion
Enhanced energy and vitality
Some clinical styles may help heal scar tissue as well as tendon, ligament, and muscle tears

Massage therapy may help the body in many ways. Massage can relax muscle tissue, which may lead to decreased nerve compression, increased joint space, and range of motion. This may lead to reduced pain and improved function.

Massage therapy may also improve circulation, which enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells and helps remove waste products. These circulatory effects of massage may have value in the treatment of some inffllammatory conditions, such as arthritis or edema (an excessive accumulation of fflluid in body tissues, which may be reduced using manual lymph drainage). Massage therapy is also thought to induce a relaxation response, which lowers the heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure; boosts the immune system; and generally decreases the physical effects of stress. These effects suggest that massage may be helpful for a wide range of conditions. Some of these are listed below.
