  Therapeutic massage is very helpful in the process of recovering injured muscles and skeletal imbalances.  The concept is based on the fact that when the body is physically and mentally overworked, acidic levels accumulate in the muscle tissue, causing soreness, stiffness and even muscle spasms. Tense muscle may compress blood vessels and stretch nerves, restricting blood flow and cause pain. Massage in general improves blood and lymph circulation and brings fresh oxygen and other nutrients to the affected tissue, thus enhancing recovery. As the affected area is massaged, the muscle gradually releases their strangle hold on the irritated nerves, and the pain ease. In addition, massage has been shown to increase the body' s production of pain-killing endorphins and the mood-altering hormone serotonin. It can also decrease the release of the stress hormone cortisol.  For this reason, massage is often prescribed as an adjunctive therapy for people whose immune system are compromised by stress.
