BENEFITS OF GETTING A MASSAGE THERAPY Through various techniques and styles specifically adapted to the patients’ needs, Canadian therapists can provide comfort to a specific area. The most frequently used techniques are rubbing and pressing of your skin, tendons, muscles and ligaments. According to Canadian scientific studies, dopamine and serotonin (pain-numbing hormones) are released by the body through the action of a properly executed massage. That effect of feeling calm and relaxed, make chronic pains and daily stress a thing of the past. Furthermore, a massage therapy also removes lactic acid from muscles by using pressure and good oxygenation. By doing this, a person immediately gets an improved lymph fluid circulation which is in charge of carrying out stored waste products of organs and muscles. The end result, a much better blood pressure and overall body function. To this we can also add the important impact of a massage in reducing the effects of certain diseases like is Carpal tunnel syndrome (repetitive strain), Tendinitis, cancer, HIV, and Parkinson's disease.
