Respiratory system
Massage helps with the oxygen flow through the body. Because of those beneficial properties, it can help to normalize a person’s breathing from mild bouts of asthma, hyperventilation and panic attacks.

Circulatory system
As massage penetrates and manipulates soft tissues, it increases nutrition to the tissue. This causes the blood vessels to dilate and increase blood/circulations. This also encourages tissue healing for tired and damaged muscles.

Skeletal system
Massage encourages better blood flow and nutrients to our joints. Improved muscle conditions help with good bone health and body posture. As it can decrease inflammation, massage can increase the range of motion. It also helps our bones by encouraging them to retain certain nutrients such as phosphorous and fiber. It also breaks down scar tissue and releases knots.

Muscles
Massage can help soothe and alleviate tired, aching muscles as well as increase muscle tone for those with limited motion capabilities. Helps with the supply of nutrients for better-nourished muscle. Relieves muscle pain, spasms, tension, inflammation and helps with the relaxation and elongation of muscles.

Skin
Massage has been known to help with dry skin by increasing the sebum production, the skin’s natural oils. This helps with moisturizing and firming of the skin.
As massage encourages blood flow it manipulates the dilation of the skin’s surface capillaries to improve on its color and resilience. It can also help to reduce scar tissue after surgery.

Emotional
Massage increases both serotonin and dopamine in the body which helps with depression and anxiety. As it relieves tension it reduces levels of stress and brings the body back down into a calm relaxed state. It can decrease PMS symptoms and relieve anger as it improves a person’s mood.
