Even in ancient times, people used massage to restore their strength. Even then, different types of effects on the body with the help of hands were invented. Given that they are still relevant, we can confidently state the benefits of massage. Many diseases, both physiological and psychological, can be corrected with its help.
Body massage also affects mechanically (muscles are flexed), and affects the biologically active points of the body. It is thanks to this that a person relaxes, gets analgesia, loses weight and so on. Even problems like stress and fatigue can correct body massage. Thus, a number of changes occur in the body: sebaceous and sweat glands are cleared, harmful substances are more actively removed from the body, and 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 quite painful. But just such an effect gives a gradual change in the skin. The resulting effect persists for a long time. The thing is that the master reaches subcutaneous fat and in the process of actively kneading the skin "breaks down" 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.
The usual classic body massage is carried out most often. It includes stroking, vibration, kneading, rubbing. Rattling is rarely used, as this leads to an increase in blood pressure. It is often prescribed for fatigue, chronic muscle tension, edema, decreased performance. It is also used in combination with other measures for a speedy recovery. The goal of classical massage is to strengthen and improve the body.
After herbs, exercise and sports, you can use restorative massage. In this case, attention is paid to local areas of the body that 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 general diseases. During the procedure, there is an improvement in the motor function of the joints, muscles are stretched, blood supply is activated, and lymphatic drainage is restored. Such massage makes the body supple and flexible.
