  1. Effectiveness of various massage therapy Massage therapy is the scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, consisting primarily of manual techniques such as applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, and moving muscles and body tissues. Generally, massage is delivered to improve the flow of blood and lymph to reduce muscular tension or flaccidity, to affect the nervous system through stimulation or sedation, and to enhance tissue healing. Massage should not be used locally on affected areas for the following conditions: eczema, goiter (thyroid dysfunction), and open skin lesions. Massage may be used on the areas of the body that are not affected by these conditions. The decision to use massage must be based on whether it may cause harm. A physician's recommendation of massage therapy near me is appropriate before a child with any health condition receives massage therapy. Therapeutic massage may be recommended for children and adults to deliver benefits such as the following: reducing muscle tension and stiffness, relieving muscle spasms, increasing joint and limb flexibility and range of motion, increasing ease and efficiency of movement, relieving points of tension and overall stress; inducing relaxation, promoting deeper and easier breathing, improving blood circulation and movement of lymph, relieving tension-related headaches and eyestrain, promoting faster healing of soft tissue injuries, such as pulled muscles and sprained ligaments, reducing pain and swelling related to injuries, reducing the formation of scar tissue following soft tissue injuries, enhancing health and nourishment of skin, improving posture by changing tension patterns that affect posture, reducing emotional or physical stress and reducing anxiety, promoting feelings of well-being, increasing awareness of the mind-body connection and improving mental awareness and alertness generally. Neuromuscular massage in Richmond Hill is a form of deep massage that is applied to individual muscles. It is used primarily to release trigger points and also to increase blood flow. It is often used to reduce pain. Trigger point massage and my therapy are similar forms. Acupressure applies finger or thumb pressure to specific points located on the energy pathways or "meridians" in order to release blocked energy along these meridians that may be causing physical discomfort. The rebalance of energy flow releases tension and restores function of

Massage therapy may also be recommended for its documented clinical benefits such as improving pulmonary function in young asthma patients, reducing psycho emotional distress in individuals who suffer from chronic inflammatory bowel disease, helping with weight gain, improving motor development in premature infants, and enhancing immune system functioning. Sports massage uses techniques that are similar to Swedish and deep tissue but are specially adapted to deal with the effects of athletic performance on the body and the needs of athletes regarding training, performing, and recovery from injury.
