MASSAGE
There are many types of massage. Swedish Massage is the most popular form used in North America. Massage is a wonderful therapy used to relieve muscle tension, spasms, swelling (inflammation), aches, stiffness, and pain. Massage therapists use their hands or special tools to knead, rub, and stroke muscles. Sometimes lotion or oil is applied to the skin to reduce friction.
Massage increases blood flow and warms muscles and other soft tissues (e.g. tendons, ligaments). Blood flow delivers oxygen and nourishment and carries away cell waste.
