Improved healing can be a benefit of massage
For many people, one of the biggest benefits of massage is the improved healing that is possible. Massage could significantly improve the speed of recovering from surgery, an injury or acute pain.

Does massage improve healing?
Massage increases healing in a number of ways. Massage therapy increases blood flow to areas of the body that are lacking oxygen which activates molecules to reduce inflammation and promote mitochondrial growth.
Massage also helps to remove waste products and breaks down and realigns the collagen fibres of scar tissue. Massage could significantly improve the speed of recovering from surgery, an injury or acute pain and can be used to replace pain medication.
When can a massage help?
There are so many different circumstances where a massage could help bring about an improvement physically, mentally and emotionally. Studies prove that the healing power of physical touch, especially that of massage, can help you feel like you've been massaged back to life.
You might be a sports person who has pulled a hamstring, a gardener that's pulled a muscle in their back or an office worker who is getting neck and shoulder pain from sitting at a desk all day. Whoever you are, its possible that massage could help you on the road to recovery.
