Therapeutic massage decreases pain by releasing endorphins and enkephalins and other pain reducing neurochemicals. It also increases circulation (which in turn reduces blood pressure), increases flexibility, and reduces muscle tension. Study’s have shown muscles recuperate at only 20% after five minutes of rest, but with massage they recuperate 100% in five minutes. Therapeutic massage can even help with itchy, dry skin by stimulating the glands that release oil into the skin. These are just a few of the benefits therapeutic massage offers. Studies show therapeutic massage reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases lymph and blood circulation. Massage can stimulate weak and inactive muscles, which in turn compensates for lack of exercise or inactivity due to illness or injury. Therapeutic massage is one of the most effective forms
