body’s own pain relievers (endorphins), causing
muscle relaxation.
Reduces Inflammation - increased circulation
and reduction in inflammatory hormones at the
cellular level.
Accelerates Tissue Repair and Cell Growth cells are stimulated to make more energy, divide
quicker, produce more repair hormones, etc.
This is especially true in regeneration of nerves,
cartilage, bone, and in superficial wound healing, both early and late (scar tissue).
Improves Circulation - new blood vessels are
encouraged to grow through the process of angiogenesis. This is useful in mobilizing bruising,
resorbing hematomas, and bringing blood flow
into regions of chronic healing or degeneration.
Increases Cellular Metabolism - long-term or
chronically diseased tissue (i.e. osteoarthritis)
