Massage encourages the nutrition and development of the muscular system by stimulating its circulation, nerve supply, and cell activity. Regular and systematic massage causes the muscles to become firmer and more elastic. Massage is also an effective means of relaxing tense muscles and releasing muscle spasms.
The supply of blood to the muscles is proportionate to their activity. It is estimated that blood passes three times more rapidly through muscles being massaged than muscles at rest. Massage prevents and relieves stiffness and soreness of muscles. Muscles fatigued by work or exercise will be more quickly restored by massage than by passive rest of the same duration. Muscle tissue that has suffered injury heals more quickly with less connective tissue build-up and scarring when therapeutic massage is applied regularly.
Massage can have positive effects on the range of motion of limbs that have a limited range due to tissue injury, inflammation, muscle tension, or strain.
