One of the major benefits of Remedial Massage is the increase in blood circulation to the muscles being massaged, resulting in increased oxygen and nutrient availability to these tissues.
The increased circulation will also remove metabolic waste products that have built up in the muscles. Muscle pliability and joint flexibility, decreased muscle tension and the calming of nervous irritability are some other major physiological effects.
