Top Massage Therapy Specialist in Surrey, BC

Massage therapy treats and prevents injury, pain, and physical disorders of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints by manual and physical methods. To relieve pain and promote health, massage therapy works to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function.

To achieve results, massage therapists manipulate the body’s soft tissues, including the muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments.

The beneficial effect of massage therapy on the body is its ability to optimize health and well-being by working on the muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems.

Massage therapy can relieve or prevent physical dysfunction and pain and the impact of stress on the body and can also be used to develop, maintain and improve physical function. It is often used to treat both chronic and acute conditions, and it is effective as a preventive strategy.

Whether it’s for relaxation or a therapeutic purpose, you can experience the many benefits of massage by receiving one on a monthly basis. Some of the main uses of massage are to treat pain, promote function and manage stress.

Massage therapy improves blood flow and lymph circulation. This is partly due to the physical manipulation of soft tissue and also to the chemicals released in the body as part of the relaxation response. Improved circulation can advance the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to muscle cells. Tissues function more efficiently as cellular health improves. More efficient functioning reduces swelling in soft tissues and increases the absorption of excess fluids and also leads to the removal of waste products.

Massage therapy relaxes muscle tissue, which minimizes painful spasms and contractions. Massage can also reduce nerve compression. When muscles are contracted, they can sometimes compress the nerves around them. The nerves are no longer compressed when these muscles are relaxed. This way they can get the proper nutrients and operate more efficiently. Improving the function of the muscles and organs, the nerves can assume their normal work of transmitting messages to and from the brain.
