Medical massage is a method of physical therapy that isapplied in a series of systematic movements over the body to activate the body tissues (skin, subcutaneous muscles, and muscle phasics). It is performed by hands for the direct or indirect action of the muscular and nervous systemsin order to improve circulation of blood and lymph.
Due to increased hyperemia, the skin after massage gives the appearance of tensile and elasticity. In medical massage, circulation improves, oxygen supply is better and nutrients are improved, while harmful substances are eliminated from the metabolism as well as carbon dioxide from the blood. By all means it is relaxing and health beneficial and I look forward to my next massage soon.
