Muscles are soft, stretchy fibers that allow you to perform broad tasks like climbing a ladder, and very fine ones like carefully decorating a birthday cake. You are constantly building and reforming muscle, and that biological process can create soreness and pain. Let’s take a look at the benefits of massage therapy, specifically on the body’s musculature.
One benefit is faster recovery time after workouts. Exercise puts your muscles under stress, in the healthiest of ways. With adequate rest between workouts, and proper nutrition, you rip new muscle and build core strength. Massage has been shown to support this process, and soothe sore muscles as you increase that strength. Another benefit is circulation. Every process in your body depends on circulation, and this one is no exception. Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to your body’s musculature, and massage aids and accelerates this essential process.
Lastly, therapeutic massage reduces stress and increases relaxation in your muscles, so you are more comfortable and alert at work, and experience more restful and restorative sleep.
