benefits of therapeutic body work
Administered by: Dennis Markowitz
Relaxes the muscle contractions, spasms and relieves general body tensions.
Dilates the blood vessels, thus improving circulation.
Increases the number of red blood cells especially in cases of anemia.
Acts as a “Mechanical cleanser” pushing along lymphatic fluids and hastening the elimination of wastes and toxic debris.
Increases the excretion (via the kidneys) of fluids and nitrogen, inorganic phosphorous and salt in normal healthy individuals.
Encourages the retention of nitrogen, phosphorous and sulfur necessary for tissue repair in persons recovering from bone fractures.
Stretches connective tissues, improves circulation and nutrition and breaks down and prevents the formation of adhesions while reducing the danger of fibrosis.
Transverse massage separates muscle fibers, undoing or preventing the formation of adhesions and trigger points. (Excellent for Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia).
Massage increases the blood supply and nutrition to muscles without adding to their load of toxic lactic acid, produced through voluntary muscle contraction. Massage thus helps to overcome harmful “fatigue” products resulting from strenuous exercise or injury.
Improves the circulation of the joints and hastens the elimination of harmful particles. It helps lessen inflammation and swelling in joints and therefore, alleviates/eliminates pain.
Disperses edema following injury to ligaments and tendons, lessens pain, tissue damage, and helps facilitate movement.
Improves general circulation and nutrition of tissues. It is accompanied or followed by and increased interchange of substances between the blood and tissue cells, heightening tissue metabolism.
Improves muscle tone and helps prevent or delay muscular atrophy resulting from forced inactivity.
May compensate, at least in part, for lack of exercise and muscular contraction in injured, ill or age related atrophy in persons. Massage benefits include the assistance in returning venous blood to the heart and as a result, eases the strain on a most important and vital organ.
According to some authorities, massage may burst the fat capsule in the subcutaneous tissues allowing the fat to exude and become absorbed. Massage combined with a nutritious and balanced diet may attribute to weight loss.
In certain situations, massage may have a sedative, stimulating or even exhausting effect on the nervous system depending on the type and the length of massage therapy given.
