All cells in the body need a good supply of blood which supplies nutrients and oxygen to enable them to carry out repairs and grow, as well as taking away the waste materials that arise through their use, or damage. In this way, massage increases blood circulation aiding the self-renewal of the body. The techniques release hard muscular knots, scar tissue and adhesions, so freeing joints, increasing their mobility and tissue flexibility more generally. In this way the performance of muscles and joints are enhanced either to prepare for exercise or post-exertion to help the healing process. The relaxation of muscles by the feedback of touch in the nervous system leads to a reduction in muscular as well as organ pain by reducing tension throughout the body. A good example of this is the tension headache – when muscular tension is released the headache goes.
