Why do I need a body massage?

Even in ancient times, people used massage to restore their strength. Even then, various kinds of effects on the body with the help of hands were invented. Given that they are still relevant, we can confidently assert the benefits of massage. A variety of diseases, both physiological and psychological, can be corrected with its help.

Body massage acts mechanically (the muscles warm up), and it affects the biologically active points of the body. It is because of this that a person relaxes, gets anesthetized, grows thin and so on. Even problems such as stress and fatigue can correct a body massage. Thus, a number of changes occur in the body: sebaceous and sweat glands are cleared, harmful substances are more actively excreted from the body, metabolism is accelerated.

Recently, anti-cellulite body massage has gained popularity. This problem is relevant for many women. Some unsuccessfully use creams. Fat cells are located deep under the skin and no ointments will help to get rid of them. Therefore, a special massage is required. Its peculiarity is that it is rather painful. But it is this effect that gives a gradual change in the skin. The resulting effect persists for a long time. The thing is that the master reaches the subcutaneous fat and in the process of active kneading the skin "breaks" the fat deposits. As a result, fat is excreted through the lymph. In addition to getting rid of cellulite, this is a good way to prevent varicose veins.

Ordinary classical body massage is most often performed. It includes stroking, vibration, kneading, rubbing. Beating is rarely used, as this leads to an increase in blood pressure. It is often prescribed for fatigue, chronic muscle tension, swelling, and decreased performance. It is also used in conjunction with other measures for a speedy recovery. The purpose of classical massage is strengthening and improving the body.

After herbs, exercise and sports, you can use a restorative massage. In this case, attention is paid to local areas of the body, which require a special approach. The best effect is achieved after visiting the bath, that is, when the body is steamed. This type of massage can be carried out not only as a treatment, but also for the prevention of various injuries and common diseases. During the procedure, there is an improvement in the motor function of the joints, muscles are stretched, the blood supply is activated, and lymphatic drainage is restored. This massage makes the body elastic and flexible.

What do you need to know to do a body massage? Education requires basic medical education. Knowing the anatomy and physiology of the body, the expert will competently, correctly carry out the procedure of massage. But the simplest techniques can be learned independently (for home use). At home, you can carry out a vacuum massage. It is carried out with the help of special medical cans. There are also non-traditional massage techniques, for example, with the use of acupuncture.
