Massage helps increase healing by increasing blood circulation, removing waste products and breaking down scar tissue.
An increase of blood, oxygen and nutrients are delivered to an area of damage in the body. Oxygen and nutrients assist the healing process and begin to repair damaged cells. Massage assists in the removal of waste products in the body. The more toxins and waste products there are in the body, the slower the healing process will be. Massage also helps increase healing by breaking down scar tissue which is formed after injury.Massage therapists at Manchester Physio provide a wide range of massage therapy services to increase healing.
When can massage be used to increase healing?
There are many circumstances when massage can be used to increase healing, these include:

Massage helps to increase healing following injury by breaking down scar tissue, increasing blood circulation and removing waste products from the body.
Massage helps to increase healing by breaking down scar tissue. Scar tissue is an inflexible fibrous tissue that binds itself together in an effort to repair damaged tissues back together. A variety of techniques in massage can be used to break down scar tissue and realign muscle fibres. Realigning muscle fibres back to their normal form allow the healing process to be increased.
Massage increases healing around an injury by increasing blood circulation. An increase of blood circulation is able to deliverer more oxygen and nutrients to a damaged area in the body. Oxygen and nutrients work to repair any damaged tissues, increasing healing.
Massage helps increase healing by removing waste products in the body. The application of strokes in a massage treatment stimulates the lymphatic flow in the body. The lymphatic system is responsible for flushing waste products and toxins out of the body. If waste products and toxins are in the body it can slow down the healing process and prevent recovery.
Massage helps increase healing by treating chronic pain. Massage helps reduce chronic pain by interrupting the pain cycle, reducing swelling and improving blood circulation to an area.
Massage helps increase healing by interrupting the cycle of pain. When pain is felt in a certain area, muscles tighten around an area to protect it. Tight muscles can restrict movement and blood circulation. Massage helps to break down the tightness felt in the muscles and reduce pain.
Massage helps increase healing by reducing swelling. Swelling is a natural response to damage in the body and can cause pain. Massage can be used to treat excess fluid and help flush it out of the body.
Massage helps decrease chronic pain and increase healing by improving blood circulation. Massage improves blood circulation by allowing capilliarisation and vasodiliation to occur. Capilliarisation and vasodiliation is the increase in number and size of the blood cells. More blood circulation increases cellular exchange. Cellular exchange allows more oxygen and nutrients into the muscles and waste products out.

Massage helps to increase healing in many ways. Massage helps to increase healing by increasing blood circulation, assisting the removal of waste products and breaking down scar tissue.Massage stimulates an increase of blood circulation to a damaged area of the body. An increase of blood circulation to a damaged area helps increase healing by delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the area. The increase of oxygen and nutrients contribute to repairing damaged tissues.
Massage also increases healing by removing waste products out of the body. Toxins and waste products can be produced in the body when an area of tissues has been damaged. Toxins and waste products prevent soft tissues from healing. Massage stimulates the activation of the lymphatic system in the body. The lymphatic system naturally flushes out waste products and toxins from the body. The lymphatic flow carried by the lymphatic system release of manual stimulation for it to be carried around the body. The application of strokes from massage transports the lymphatic flow around the body draining out toxins. The removal of waste products and toxins increase the healing process.
Massage helps increase healing by breaking down scar tissue and adhesions formed from an injury. When tissues are damaged in the body, the body tries to heal the damaged area by producing scar tissue and adhesions. Scar tissue and adhesions lay across muscle fibres producing a hard texture and creating knots.
What are the benefits of receiving a massage to increase healing?
Massage to increase healing has many benefits. The benefits of massage to increase healing include:
- Decreasing pain
- Speeding up recovery
- Reducing the risk of injury re-occurring
The benefit of increased healing in the muscles is decreased pain. Massage helps to decrease pain by interrupting the pain cycle. When pain is felt, muscles surrounding the area tighten to protect it. An increase of blood circulation allows the muscles to relax. Once the muscles are relaxed pain is decreased and healing is increased.
Massage increases healing and allows recovery to be quickened. Massage increase blood circulation to an area. Increased blood circulation allows more oxygen and nutrients to be delivered. Oxygen and nutrients stimulate the healing process and repair any damaged tissues. Once tissues are repaired recovery time is increased.
The benefit of recovering a massage to increase healing is reducing the re-occurrence of injury. Massage helps repair damaged tissues and speeds up the healing process of existing injuries. Massage can be used to increase tissue elasticity. Tissue elasticity is important to allow muscles to increase movement and reduce strains.

Massage is a beneficial treatment to increase healing after injury. Massage can speed up healing by encouraging blood flow to affected areas, breaks down scar tissue and assists in the removal of waste products. An increase of blood flow to an affected area carries oxygen and nutrients so that damaged tissues can be repaired. Breaking down scar tissue allows fibres to be realigned into normal form so tissues can repair in the correct way. Massage stimulates theremovalal of waste products so the process of healing is not slowed down. Massage therapists at Manchester Physio provide a wide range of massage therapy services to increase healing.
