Theraputic Massage Terms and
Facts.
Of the physical
effects of massage, perhaps the
clearest are on the circulatory
system.
When you touch,
squeeze or press any part of
your body, you increase the
circulation to that area.
Massage takes
this effect, and systematically
applies it. As a result,
massage is a good way to deal
with minor problems of the
circulatory system.
Meanwhile,
massage will be having other
effects on the central
circulatory system, reducing
blood pressure and heart
rate.
Why this
happens isn't fully understood,
but i seems to be a reaction to
changing levels of hormones
circulating in the body.
