It's chief value is in aiding ma
lures arrangements for Kidding
the body of waste products. The
action of squeezing and rubbing
the flesh expeIs blood and lymph
from its tiny capillary vessels
and teaches them to refill them
selves more rapidly.
Thus, inflammation around a
joint causes swelling or deposits
of waste matter and adhesion Of
the tissues to one another. These
dwellings, and adhesions restrict
the movement of the joint. and
when after the inflammation has
RHbsided they are removed by
massage, the function Of the
joint is restored.
Another example is when a
bone is broken the muscles
around the fracture contract into
a state Of spasm and the tissues
become inflamed, or filled with
