Reasons You Need A Massage

Massage has been around for centuries. Other than just relaxing, it offers a lot of reasons why you should make massages a habit.

• It is good after a workout – If you are into working out, a good massage afterwards is a great idea. After a hard workout, our muscles produce toxins such as lactic acid. We want to move those out of the body to avoid muscle fatigue or pain. Massage flushes those toxins, smoothes the muscle fibers and helps relax them.
• It increases flexibility and heal injuries – There are certain massage techniques like deep tissue that are meant to stretch out the muscles. Massage helps with muscle injuries by bringing healing blood to the area.
• It reduces scar tissue – Scar tissue doesn't lay flat like a regular scar. It lays crossways like fiberglass. Massage can help smooth out that tissue, keeping it healthy and more supple.
