Pampering with massages
When we talk about the benefits of massage, we must be aware that each manual technique or type of treatment brings with it different types of effects on us and our bodies. We eliminate dead cells, we stimulate the pores resulting in better absorption of the nutrients contained in the products used, greater elasticity and relaxation of the skin itself.
And, above all, we gain in beauty and prevention. After all, who doesn't like to be caressed and pampered?
Relaxation
The first feeling that comes to mind when one hears about massage is relaxation. Relaxing has become something of a privilege in our society.
Any type of massage can relax any personality type, you just have to rely on expert hands that know the points to treat.
Lymphatic stimulation
During a treatment involving skin contact we have a consequent movement of liquids.
This brings several advantages in terms of the kidneys' elimination of toxins and waste that accumulates in the body in the event of lymphatic stagnation or malfunctioning of the system itself.
As a result, we obtain a marked improvement in the immune system, but also an important aesthetic effect: circulation stagnation in whatever form it manifests itself creates fertile ground for unsightly pads. In terms of cellulite, we achieve marked improvements thanks to increased microcirculation, but this regenerating effect is also able to counteract inflammation and oedema.
Loosening of muscle tension
Massaging the muscles releases tensions, muscle contractures and trigger points that are created and accumulate during the day or during intense training. This new level of relaxation and looseness also brings inevitable benefits at the bone and joint level, greater elasticity, amplitude and ease of movement with a consequently greater capacity to use the
their own physical means.
Breathing
Speaking in terms of the respiratory system, we find improvements.
Greater relaxation, the lower degree of anxiety that massage brings, and the treatment of the intercostal muscles and diaphragm, make breathing easier with all the benefits in terms of more and better oxygenation of blood and tissue.
Elimination of emotional and energy blocks
The rigidity of the emotional state results in chronic muscle tensions and related energy blockages. Through massage, it is possible to get rid of them and in this way give freedom to the blocked emotions in everyone. According to energy medicine, our body is criss-crossed by energy channels that are in turn responsible for the proper functioning of certain parts of the body; a skilful masseur can restore harmony and balance to a person's energy flow.
Stress reduction
Stress involves muscle tension and it is this tension that can cause our state of well-being to be blocked.
Our muscular system constitutes a high-priority system and therefore when it is activated it overrides the other systems, but also the mental capacities that are in a blocked state.
By eliminating tensions, our entire organism will benefit.
balance in all its parts and favouring the correct functioning and unblocking of the other apparatuses previously blocked by tension.
and peristalsis
Other parts of our body can also benefit, such as the digestive system. With targeted reflexology massages, the increased blood flow, greater freedom of movement at the connective tissue level and reflex stimulation are a great help in improving digestion, even in the case of gastritis.
In addition to the stomach, and perhaps even more noticeably, the intestines also benefit in this way, thanks to the increased stimulation of peristalsis due to the massage, thus improving cases of chronic constipation.
Cardiovascular system functioning
In addition to lymphatic movement, blood movement can also benefit from a good massage.
During a manual treatment, not only the quantity, but also the quality of the blood flowing in veins and arteries can be improved.
The increased blood flow, together with the decreased pressure on the blood vessels, is an important aid for the heart: when the arteries dilate and
the heart rate decreases, our heart muscle strengthens.
Improved blood flow ensures proper nourishment to all tissues and organs of our body, guaranteeing a high degree of well-being, health and prevention.
Moreover, a therapeutic massage, by increasing the level of capillary dilation, can lower blood pressure.
