How Does Massage Help Regulate The Nervous System?

 Do you know that massage can have different effects on the body? Why do we want to sleep after one procedure but feel energetic after another? It's all about our nervous system and, more precisely, how the therapist affects it.

 Massage And Nerves: What Is The Connection?

 The masseur's movements cause a rush of energy, giving the body a tremendous and instant impulse that allows:

- Restore conditioned reflexes;

- Adjust the excitability of the nervous system;

- Provide the nutrition for nervous tissues;

- Adjust the conduction ability of nerve impulses;

- Relax the muscles;

- Relieve stress;

- Remove pain.

 With the right choice of massage techniques, a patient feels warmth in the whole body, general well-being improvement, and general tone and physical satisfaction.

 What A Therapist Should Know

 There is a tight connection between the strength of manipulations and the response of organisms.

 Light, slow stroking, and rubbing reduce the excitability of tissues, eliminate pain and have a calming effect on the nervous system. On the contrary, with vigorous and fast stroking and rubbing, the therapist has more irritating processes.

 The massage effect must depend significantly on the presence or absence of harmful irritants. Loud music, noise, and excited conversation substantially reduce the therapeutic effect of the procedure.
