Once eyed as a luxury, now it's making a return as a health care approach. I fell on my elbow, injuring my elbow, shoulder when I broke my wrist. During recovery, my left shoulder was very uncomfortable and movement was restricted. Joan Kumpitsch Massage affects the body as a whole and can provide a number of benefits.
Massage is known to increase the circulation of blood and flow of lymph.
The direct mechanical effect of rhythmically applied manual pressure and movement used in massage can dramatically increase the rate of blood flow. A milky white fluid called lymph carries impurities and waste away from the tissues and passes through gland-like structures spaced throughout the lymphatic system that act as filtering valves. The lymph does not circulate as the blood does, so its movement depends largely on the squeezing effect of muscle contractions. Consequently, inactive people fail to stimulate lymph flow. On the other hand, the stimulation caused by vigorous activity can be outstripped by the increased waste produced by that activity.
