Injuries: sports or work related
Massage can help to heal injuries that develop over time, such as tendonitis, as well as ligament sprains or muscle strains caused by an accident. Massage therapy reduces the inflammation by increasing circulation. Improved circulation reduces waste and increases the flow of nutrients to the injured cells. Specific massage techniques can limit scar formation in new injuries and can reduce or make old scar tissue more pliable.
