Massage and weight loss
A: Most everyone wants to lose weight. If you want to lose weight, tone up your body or sculpture places on your body you thought “no way“. Get a massage. Massage is the starting point for all of these things to occur.
Massage is the beginning point, as hands are first applied. The relationship between you and the therapist determines how much weight you will lose. Once your pathways are unblocked, the weight can come off rapidly. People can get great results from massage.
Most of you already know massage feels great and ahhhh so relaxing. Whether it’s for rehabilitation from an injury or just from playing too hard or even just to reduce stress or anxiety. Don’t forget massage can help with weight loss too.
Research shows that massage can have a positive effect on your muscle-building capabilities, which increases your capacity to lose weight. Muscles that are strong and healthy tend to burn calories better, which in turn lets you participate in more sports or exercise and in some cases without causing so much pain.
Some of the benefits of getting massages are to improve your range of motion, improve your circulation, muscle flexibility, help protect your muscles from being overworked or even tearing during workouts or daily activities. It will also help to heal injuries you already may have. It manipulates the excretion of nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorous within the muscle, which in itself is a benefit.
Massage can help open up blocked pathways so the body’s functions flow more easily. It helps to release and flush out toxins so you can focus on eating healthier foods. which can also aid in cutting down on stress in your life.
When your body is stressed out, the intestines can slow down the digestion or even stop the break down of food coming into your body. Which in turn can lead to weight gain. Abdominal massage is good for improving your digestive function, which in turn reduces constipation and increases bowel movements.
If you are one that hits the gym on a regular basis, then massage can help you to loose fat deposits that much faster. By getting massages you can help your muscles reduce soreness by rubbing, kneading and lengthen them or stretching them and keeping them loose. This will make you feel better.
If you are not a “gym member” no problem, you can still eat healthy and work in getting massages to your schedule. You can still lose your body’s fat deposits with lymphatic drainage therapy. Lymphatic drainage therapy can help to reduce edema, reduce stress and pain.
