How the massage is going to help you?

-Helps to relieve pain and spasm in the body: massage set off a series of molecular events in muscles that helped reverse discomfort related to exertion. Massage hampers the activity of proteins known as inflammatory cytokines, which cause inflammation and pain. It also increased levels of proteins that signal the muscles to produce more mitochondria, the cell structures that produce energy or in other words power house of the cell and help muscles recover from pai and spasm due to strenous activites
– Improves the circulation: Massage facilitates circulation because the pressure created by the massage technique actually moves blood through the congested areas. The release of this same pressure causes new blood to flow in. The squeezing and pulling also flushes lactic acid from the muscles and improves the circulation of the lymph fluid which carries metabolic waste away from muscles and internal organs, resulting in lower blood pressure and improved body function.
-Improves metabolism: During massage the pooled metabolic wastes is carried away from the cells and new raw materials as well as oxygen reaches the cells there by enhancing the metabolism ranging from cellular level to higher levels .
-Improves the quality and radiance of skin: A proper massage helps to remove the layer of dead cells and dirts which clogg your pores on the skin.Your skin can breathe more easily and s the circulation is improved more nutrients reach your skin cells there by enhancing the radiance.
-Discoloration of the skin will be reduced by the massage with appropriate oil: The active ingredients of medicated oil will penetrate through the skin pores and reduces the discoloration
-Relaxation: Skin loves to be pampered and a massage will stimulate the “feel good hormones” so after a session of massage you will feel very much relaxed and relieves the stress

-Body Toning: Tones up your body by improving the quality of collagen fibers
-Promotes deep breathing: by relaxing the muscles around rib cage and abdomen that take part in respiration. Constricted breathing leads to decreased inhalation and so the oxygen entering the lungs will be less. When the body starts to take shallow short breaths instead of breathing at a natural pace, it is near impossible for one to reach a relaxed state.
