Massage is a therapy or modality based on the principle that tissues of the body will function at optimum levels when arterial blood supply and venous blood and lymphatic system drainage are unimpeded. When this flow becomes unbalanced, muscle tightness and changes in the nearby skin and fascia attached to the muscles will ensue, which may produce aches, pain and discomfort.
Remedial massage is designed to re-establish proper fluid dynamics and flow in the body. This can relieve pain and tension, and release lactic acid build up in the muscles of the body.
