Benefits of massage - Muscular System • Massage relieves muscular tightness, stiffness, spasms and restrictions in the muscle tissue. • It increases flexibility in the muscles due to muscular relaxation. • It increases blood circulation bringing more oxygen and nutrients into the muscle. This reduces muscle fatigue and soreness. • It promotes rapid removal of toxins and waste products from the muscle. • Trigger point techniques reduce the spasm and pain that occur both in the injured and "compensation" muscles. • Cross-fibre friction techniques can help with healing by improved formation of strong and flexible repair tissue, which is vital in maintaining full pain-free range of motion during rehabilitation.
