Injured? Aching? Sore? In Pain? I may be able to help you. Please see my new video, which demonstrates some basic massage techniques: Massage is undoubtedly the oldest form of therapy. We instinctively rub an area of our body that is sore from over exertion or painful due to injury or some other dysfunction. Massage has a range of benefits that make it a useful healing therapy: improving circulation and carrying essential nutrients to injured or problem areas; improving lymphatic drainage to remove harmful waste products from sites of injury or areas of prolonged tension; stimulating the nervous system to facilitate healing; breaking down the excess scar tissue and adhesions that can form in problem areas; promoting relaxation; improving muscle tone.
