Massage is the oldest, simplest form of therapy and is a system of stroking, pressing, and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax stimulate and tone the body. Massage does much more than just making you feel good; it also works on the soft tissues (the muscles, tendons and ligaments) to improve muscle tone. Although it largely affects those muscles just under the skin, it is believed that it also reaches the deeper layers of muscles and possibly even the organs themselves. Massage stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system (which runs parallel to the circulatory system) improving elimination of toxic waste throughout the body.
