Massage therapy is based on the belief that when muscles are overworked, waste products can accumulate in the muscle, causing soreness and stiffness.

Massage therapy aims to stimulate blood flow and release toxins from muscles and tissues.

It can also help to break the pain-spasm cycle by:

Relaxing tight muscles or muscles in spasm

Increasing circulation, which can reduce heart rate and lower blood pressure

Improving oxygen and nutrition flow to the painful area

Increasing range of motion

Finding and relaxing trigger points

Increasing production of the body’s natural painkillers
