Massage relaxes muscle spasm and relieves tension.
Massage improves muscle tone and helps prevent or delay muscular atrophy resulting from forced inactivity. Massage improves the circulation and nutrition of joints and hastens the elimination of harmful deposits. Only those professional athletes who were in extensive training or people who were monied were privy to this luxury. Unfortunately, through the years little has been done to change the public's impression of massage. We need to be updated in our thinking about this powerful health tool.
