Massage has been shown to be highly beneficial. It can affect the
autonomic nervous system, and calm the "fight or flight" response,
reducing the level of harmful stress hormones in the body. Massage
stimulates blood circulation, increasing the supply of nutrients and
oxygen to cells. Massage stimulates lymphatic flow, improving tissue
drainage and improving the immune system. Long, flowing connective
strokes, called effleurage, generally have these effects.
“Massage therapy is a
comprehensive intervention involving a range of techniques to
manipulate the soft tissues and joints of the body. The purpose of
massage therapy is to prevent, develop, maintain, rehabilitate or
augment physical function or relieve pain.”
