Chiropractic Massage Regular and systematic massage causes the muscles to become firmer and more elastic. It's estimated that blood passes three times more rapidly through muscles being massaged than muscles at rest. Muscles fatigued by work or exercise will be more quickly restored by massage than by passive rest of the same duration. Massage helps clients become more aware of where they are holding tension and where they have tight muscles or painful areas. The practitioner may discover areas the client may not have been aware of previously. Conditions Generally Relieved by Massage: 1. Stress and tension are relieved. The client feels better able to cope with day-to-day situations. 2. Pain in the shoulders, neck and back (usually caused by strained muscles or irritated nerves) is relieved. 3. Circulation is improved, thus improving skin tone. 4. Headache and eyestrain are often relieved. 5. Muscular spasms are relieved. 6. Pain in joints, sprains and poor circulation are relieved. 7. Mental strain is reduced, resulting in better productivity. 8. Joint mobility can be increased. No matter how well a client may be, a good massage will leave that person feeling even better! |
