Massage Therapy: Benefits to Circulation and Organs


There's lots of benefits that are associated with getting a massage. Some may be old to you, some may be new.

For one thing, there are large muscle "knots" in the body that are formed during our natural day-to-day activities. As these knots build up it may cause a variety of problems such as reducing access to vital energy, obstructing circulation as well as glandular functions, etc.

Circulation is improved via massage. By soothing the natural flow of blood in your body it enables more nutrients and oxygen to flow to your organs as well as muscles. This is essential to help your body heal itself, restore tissues, and allow essential functions to thrive.

Similarly, massage helps soothe your nerves connected to the organs which allows for improved healing and effective functioning of the organs. This ultimately allows for greater healing as well as improved energy or chi flow. Reflexology in conjunction with a massage will help in this area in particular. Chinese acupuncturists have been using these techniques for a long time.

Those are just some of the critical benefits associated directly with a massage. You may be surprised at how impactful a massage could be to your overall health. Now that you know, it's time to consider your own massage regimen.
