Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury, infection, or stress. When your body detects harm, it sends out signals to protect the affected area, which can lead to redness, swelling, heat, and pain. While inflammation is essential for healing, chronic or excessive inflammation can cause discomfort and long-term damage.
Massage therapy can be a powerful tool in managing inflammation. By improving circulation, relaxing muscles, and reducing tension, massage helps the body clear out metabolic waste, increase oxygen flow, and enhance the healing process. Gentle techniques can also stimulate the lymphatic system, helping the body remove excess fluids and reduce swelling.
If you're dealing with inflammation, regular massage may be an effective way to support recovery and bring relief. Always consult with a healthcare professional to ensure it's right for your condition.
