How does it work?
It is considered that a range of massage techniques affect both sensory and motor nerves by naturally warming the skin and sub layers of soft tissue. As the body warms up it functions more efficiently with blood flow being carried to and from muscles, organs, glands and bones thereby nourishing these areas and removing metabolic waste from the body more quickly. Therapeutic massage is also believed to trigger the brain into communicating with glands to release endorphins (feel good hormones) (Rosser, 2004).
