Improve Circulation Compression of tissues during massage increases blood flow. Stimulation of deep tissue receptors triggers changes in the sympathetic nervous system. Balance Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Massage initially increases blood pressure and heart rate followed by a decrease in both. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60482be823d7cd03bbe9693b/1615836866744-SI7KIHNNY2092F7SFSZK/First+Hand+Experience+Licensed+Massage+Therapist+Atlanta+Georgia+.png Therapeutic Massage Benefits - Relax, Regulate & Rejuvenate Skin & Nerves Stimulate or Sedate Nervous System The nervous system can be stimulated or sedated depending on the type of massage therapy. Nerve receptors stimulated during massage can have effects on internal organs, pain perception, and joints and muscles of the areas being massaged. Stretch Muscle & Connective Tissue Massage stretches muscle and tissues, and breaks up and realigns certain types of scar tissue. Muscle relaxation, relief from spasms and cramps, and increased range of motion can result from regular massage therapy. Rejuvenate Skin Massage therapy Increases blood circulation to the skin, activates sweat and oil glands and hastens the sloughing of dead skin cells. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60482be823d7cd03bbe9693b/1615836918817-KCLQSZGZIOXAO471NVBA/First+Hand+Experience+Licensed+Massage+Therapist+Aromatherapy+Atlanta+.png Therapeutic Massage Benefits - Aromatherapy Benefits Aromatherapy offers many added benefits when combined with your normal massage service.
