Answer 2

Massage Therapy is therapeutic in many ways. More people would benefit from massage if it was done on a regular basis.

Massage Therapy is beneficial to the Lymphatic System. It moves the body fluids throughout the body and helps to stimulate the system and cause it to act more normally.

The Muscular System benefits from a massage by loosening tense areas. When a muscle is relaxed, the skeletal system can be allowed to adjust to a normal state as well. When pressure is put on a tense muscle, it relaxes. While it is relaxing, toxins that may have built up within the muscle are released. The toxins are then carried out of the muscle, circulated through the body by the Lymphatic System, and then allowed to be released from the body. (Do not be surprised if after a massage, the urine is brightly or darkly colored -- this is from the toxins that have been deposited in the body!)

Relaxation is always a benefit from a massage. It allows for clarity of thought and a new outlook on things and a "de-stressing" of the body and mind.

It is also very important to make sure that you drink lots of water after a massage. This will continue to flush the body of the impurities that were released from the muscles.

A person may or may not be a slight bit tender in spots a day or so after a massage. If a therapist works on a troubled area (back, neck, etc), the lactic acid is released and sometimes there is a SLIGHT bit of soreness. But overall... after a good massage, the benefits will last for days afterwards.

When looking for a therapist, do your homework. Check out their credentials and ask around for someone who is LICENSED in the state you live in.
