Improve Your Flexibility

Posted: April 1st, 2016

Aging, which tightens joints, reduces flexibility and restricts range of motion, and sedentary lifestyle predisposes a person to muscle strains, injuries and other health conditions. It is advisable to visit a day spa regularly to improve muscle flexibility and range of motions as well as experience other massage therapy benefits. Therapeutic massage works on tendons, muscles and connective tissues; maintains fluid balance in joints; breaks down scar tissues and adhesion's; and removes waste products and toxins from muscles and joints. This improves flexibility and range of motions, and reduces pain. Improved muscle flexibility and range of motion aids production of body lubricants, reducing vulnerability to injuries and strains. Additionally, muscle flexibility helps lessen stiffness and swelling within joints, halting injuries.Manual manipulation of muscles and joints, and gentle application of friction across soft muscles help increase temperature around muscles and joints, leading to increased blood flow to the muscles. This eventually loosens and stretches muscles. Blood circulation also helps combat and reduce symptoms of health condition, such as heart attack. Massage after exercise or physical activity is a beneficial therapy for reducing soreness, rejuvenating the body and muscle relaxation. The therapy stimulates inherent reflexes within weak muscles and improves muscle tone, eventually improving muscle strength and endurance. Muscle toning is vital for people experiencing long periods of recuperation and those who are sedentary. People of all ages experience stress at one point in their life. If not controlled, stress can cause distress, leading to high blood pressure, difficulty sleeping, mood changes, stomach upsets and other medical conditions. Rubbing and kneading of muscles with hands helps reduce levels of cortisol and insulin; lowers blood pressure and heart rate; brings about relaxation; and aids production of endorphin's, dopa-mine and serotonin, which are natural body chemicals for calm feeling and stress relief. Decreased stress may lead to deeper sleep and clear skin, counteracting aging. In summary, massage therapy improves flexibility, range of motion and muscle tone, and is good for stress relief and relaxation, which help slow down aging. Visit a day spa soon to get the aforementioned benefits.
