lymphatic drainage
2. Earlier resolution of inflammation

What is massage? - answer- the manipulation of soft tissue with the hands
What does massage accomplish? - answer- 1. Increases blood flow which in turn increases
availability of blood born nutrients, immune agents and oxygen
2. Enhances the flow of lymph away from tissue providing improved elimination of waste products
3. Mechanical pressure and stretching breaks down fibrous tissue and adhesion thus increasing
range of motion
4. Loosen and stretches contracted tendons
5. Stimulates peripheral nerves and induces relaxation
6. Stimulates release of "endorphins" which increase well-being
What are the indications for massage? - answer- 1. Contracted or tight tendons, muscles or
ligaments
2. Injuries and wounds where initial inflammation has subsided - post trauma and post surgical
3. Peripheral nerve injuries
4. Reduction of scar tissue on old wounds
