Massage
Massage is good for you. Having a massage stimulates your muscles, brain, nerves and internal organs, increases cellular respiration in a natural way and promotes the nourishment of every part of your body.
Massage is perhaps one of the oldest healing traditions; as far back as 3000 BC the Chinese were employing massage as a scientific therapeutic measure, the Egyptians in reflexology and the Greeks during the Olympic games. Massage was also used by Hippocrates- the father of modern medicine!
The value of massage is as great today as it was in ancient times.

The science behind massage
The body metabolism is constantly creating a need for fresh oxygenated blood and this need is satisfied by good strong circulation and a proper breathing pattern.
The skin is the largest organ of the human body and is packed with nerve endings. When you experience a great massage these nerve endings are stimulated to increase circulation so that wastes can be removed from the tissue while your body remains passive and relaxed, and make room for fresh oxygenated blood to return.
The fact that this can be achieved whilst in a passive state makes massage invaluable for anyone suffering from fatigue (internal or external), disease or mental or emotional stress.
As well as the release of tensions and toxins from the system, massage is most beneficial in creating a wonderful sense of relaxation and nourishing a feeling of wellbeing.
