We all know that if you want to lead a healthy lifestyle you should eat at least 5 portions of fruit and veg a day, drink plenty of water and exercise regularly. What is less known is that massage therapy should also be incorporated into your wellness routine.

But why?

Well, if you are regular gym goer you will feel the enormous benefits of that regular exercise has on your body. But each time you exercise a group of muscles you subject those muscles to minor injuries known as 'wear and tear' on your body. Over time those minor tears can become a serious problem.

For those that lift weights you may find that your muscles lose their ability to relax properly, this can cause chronic tightness known as hypertonic muscles. You may also find that over time exercised muscles lose their flexibility, this is linked to muscle soreness and further injury from muscle tears. 

So how does regular massage therapy in conjunction with exercise help your body?

Firstly and most importantly the chances of long term injury are reduced considerably as your flexibility and range of movement improves with regular massage. 

As your body adapts to regular massage your recovery time between workouts will reduce, allowing you to do more. 

Improved flexibility enables more oxygen and nutrients into the muscles through your improved blood flow. Lactic acid and cell waste products are eliminated more efficiently resulting in optimal training and better results.

All of this adds up to a longer, healthier exercise regime that could last for year upon year.
