Possible Benefits

with increase in blood flow, the bloods vital nutrients circulate more efficiently. Massage is popular with sports people because it can improve muscle tone, restore mobility, and ensure the elimination of waste products after exercise. With regular massage, strains and sprains heal more rapidly while calf cramps and stiff muscles can become a thing of the past. Massage before an exercise session will help loosen and warm up the muscles, or afterwards it will ease sore, aching limbs.

By dilating the blood vessels, massage increases the blood circulation. A good circulatory system means that an efficient supply of the bloods constituents, including oxygen and nutrients, reaches the billions of individual cells. This is vital for the healthy functioning of the whole body, from the muscles to internal organs such as kidneys and liver. At the same time the increase blood circulation helps accelerate they lymphatic system, which absorbs and eliminates waste-substances. Unlike the blood circulation which has the heart to pump it round, the lymphatic system has no pump of its own and is dependent on muscular action for its efficiency. Massage is an important means of speeding up the flow of the lymph, encouraging more effective filtering and elimination of waste throughout the body

What to Expect

A thorough massage session takes at least one hour, during which you will be comfortably supported in a seated or side-lying position and draped for your comfort. Only the body part being worked on is exposed. The room will be quiet, warm and comfortable. It is fine to interrupt the massage to use the restroom, however, for maximum comfort, avoid heavy eating and drinking for two hours before your session
