Massage Therapy Healing Muscle Pain
There are more than 600 voluntary, or skeletal, muscles are in the human body, and those muscles account for approximately 40 percent of a person's body mass. Any number of these muscles can be strained or injured during sporting activities, stretching or day-to-day activities. Deep tissue massage can help aid the body and help heal muscles by bringing needed oxygen to the effected muscles. Damaged muscle tissue can cause stress, prevent relaxation, cause poor posture, impair breathing, cause headaches and blurry vision and lead to chronic and life long pain. Massage therapy can aid in the recovery of these and other muscle related problems. Working with a certified massage therapist can bring you the relief that you have been seeking.

Through massage therapy, alternating levels of concentrated pressure on the areas of muscle spasm with the fingers, knuckles, or elbow can bring relief over time.
Stress
Stress has been shown to aggravate, or even cause, such problems as heart disease, gastrointestinal disorders, memory loss and decreased immune function.
Massage therapy is one of the best antidotes for stress. Massage boosts the body's immune system, which can become compromised from extended periods of stress. Tension can build up in the muscles, causing a decrease in circulation and nutrient delivery to tissues.
Manipulation of the soft tissue decreases muscular tension, increases removal of metabolic waste and promotes nutrient delivery to healing tissues.
