The Many Benefits Of Massage



Many people believe that getting a massage is all about relaxation. While massage is a great tool to use in order to relax the body it actually provides many more benefits. Some of the most common benefits of massage are easing muscle pain, improving circulation, preparing or recovering from workouts, increasing flexibility, reducing stress, and improving sleep.




A great health benefit of massage is improved circulation. Massage techniques such as effleurage, wringing, and lymphatic drainage are most commonly used to improve a client’s circulation. If a client is suffering due to post injuries, stress, or tight muscles increasing the flow of circulation is a great way to promote their recovery.




Massage can also help reduce scar tissue. When an injury occurs the body produces scar tissue during the healing process. Scar tissue can become hard and sometimes lead to pain and numbness. The massage technique of deep transverse friction is a great way to break up scar tissue and promote healing of the area.




There are many benefits of massage. Getting regular massages is a great way to improve your overall health. Call Circle of Light Massage today at 864-238-3611 to schedule your appointment. Your body will thank you!

Benefits of Massage Therapy for Athletes

Benefits of Massage Therapy for Athletes Doctors agree that an Athlete’s peak performance can often be supported and enhanced by the proper use and application of sports massage. More than a treatment for injuries, sports massage produces numerous benefits for athletes physically, physiologically, and psychologically.
