Nervous System's Benefits:
• Massage stimulates the touch, pressure and proprioceptive receptors of the skin and underlying tissue. • Massage can have a sedative, stimulating or even exhausting effect on the nervous system depending on the type and length of treatment given. • Massage reduces sympathetic stimulation and helps to balance the autonomic nervous system. • Massage relaxes the muscles and helps to reestablish proper tonus through its effect on the neuromuscular reflex pathways. • Massage is known to affect the neurotransmitters of the brain and increase endorphin secretion in particular. • Massage can reduce nerve entrapment through the release of soft tissue or muscular binding. • Massage can reduce nerve root compression caused by muscular tension.
• Massage helps to reduce tension in the skin and adjoining tissues as well as increasing its circulation and improve its nutrition.
