Benefits

Massage has many great benefits. Apart from kneading away life’s aches and strains; deep massage causes pores in tissues membranes to open, helping the exchange of fluids and improving the removal of waste products such as lactic acid. This can improve recovery in between training by helping the muscles absorb nutrients that are needed for the repair and build up of muscle tissue. Scar tissue can build up in muscles, tendons, ligaments and on the skins surface as a result of injury.

How It Works

During the re-modeling of scar tissue healing, massage can provide mobilisation of fibers to create a strong and supple scar. This means that recovery rate can be improved significantly. Massage causes improved blood circulation. Capillaries dilate to allow an increased supply of nutrients, such as oxygen and calcium ions, whilst removing waste products such as lactic acid. As a result of this, cell metabolism is increased which assists in the healing process and normal cell functioning.

Intensive training in clients can often result in excessive muscle tension. This tension restricts circulation and deprives the tissue of oxygen. When pain arises through normal movement, the elastic component of the muscle has shrunk and turned into inelastic, fibrous tissue. Massage will improve the condition through an increase in circulation and stretching. The relaxation of muscles can be achieved through warmth, circulation and stretching.

During massage the mechanoreceptors that sense touch, pressure, tissue length, movement and warmth in the muscles and connective tissues are stimulated. The stimulus is transmitted by reflex pathways via the central nervous system and induces relaxation in muscles through motor pathways. A greater relaxation can be achieved when a large part of the body is massaged and treated.
