Venous circulation

Venous blood vessels are at the superficial level. The massage should be performed in the same direction of blood in the veins: from the extremities towards the heart. This procedure increases the flow of blood back to the heart, improves blood flow, improves blood flow and stimulates the function of valves in and out of the heart muscle.

Reflexology

Reflexology

Reflexology theoretically explains the nerve connections of many specific points of the body in the feet. These are known as reflex zones.

The purpose of this massage, as it stands, is to obtain a healthy response from the organs and systems, from the adequate stimulation applied to their corresponding reflexes, thus establishing the natural balance of the energy and functionality of the whole organism.

Our current knowledge of reflexology stems from the work of Eunice Ingham, who developed zone therapy in the 1930s. Dedicated to the professional practice of therapeutic massage, she discovered that she could treat the whole body by applying pressure to different areas of the feet. He harvested a long series of successes and drew a map of the feet indicating the location of the reflex points corresponding to the different parts of the body; This map is the practical basis of reflexology.

Foot reflexology

It consists of stimulating certain puntons of reflexes in the feet in order to maintain a good state of health. It is based on the theory that each part of the body corresponds to a perfectly located point in the feet, and on the principle that, by pressing these points of reflexes, it is possible to calm and restore the entire body balance, which is achieved Remedy many disorders. Most reflex points are located on the soles of the feet.

Massage and atherosclerosis


Atherosclerosis is the premature aging of the arteries, which undergo a process of sclerosis, the diameter of the blood vessel is reduced and its elasticity is affected.

The symptoms are diverse, depending on the affected arteries and, therefore, can lead to various complications.

People from 40 years of age begins a progressive process of general aging, logically for a few years in a very slow, to accentuate after 60. Due to several factors, such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, unbalanced diet , Etc., this aging of the arteries is accelerated.

Since massage increases the intensity of the circulation, it is convenient to do general massage, since it stimulates the venous circulation, also improving the arterial circulation.

These people have a symptom, which is called intermittent claudication, which means that after walking a few steps, they do not receive the arterial blood muscle, they get intense pain, and they have to stand for a few seconds.

When the arteries have reached a heart attack, thrombosis, etc .; In all these cases massage can be done in addition to the proper medical treatment, prompt rehabilitation and massage techniques, can help improve the patient.

The basis of this technique is to increase blood flow to the peripheral muscle, in order to facilitate venous and arterial circulation.

If you feel pain in your legs when walking (accused in the twin muscles) it is time to exercise and massage into deep tissue or relaxation

TAKE CARE OF YOUR KNEES.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR KNEES.  

I recommend daily consumption of gelatin without added sugar.
Do it yourself and use Stevia to sweeten it without elevating your blood glucose. In a month you will notice a great relief in your joints.

The regular consumption of gelatine helps us strengthen our bones and tendons, cartilage and ligaments thanks to its contribution of collagen.
Gelatine takes care of our teeth, bones, has no cholesterol or fat.

• What is most remarkable is that gelatine is basically a pure protein that is obtained by extracting and processing collagen from the skin and bone tissue of animal origin. Contains 90% protein.
• Gelatine, stands as a very successful therapeutic way to care for and restore our joints, thanks to its ability to synthesize collagen in the body.
• Gelatine, also cares for osteoarthritis, reducing inflammation, especially for its ability to regenerate the cartilage of the joints.
• This food also has an amino acid known as “lysine”, which strengthens our muscles.
• It may surprise you, but gelatine is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a functional food.
• It also has ideal properties for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

To help rebuild the cartilage and bones, increase the speed of joint regeneration, we need only a portion of gelatine a day.
Thanks to the incredible contribution of collagen present in the gelatin our bones, tendons, cartilage and ligaments, will be strengthened. But yes, we must consume it on a regular basis.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage

The deep tissue massage is of the same characteristics that meets the Swedish massage but with deeper pressure, working the deep layers of muscles, tendons and fascia.

Deep tissue massage.

The technique of deep tissue massage is indicated to work the deep muscles and is effective in treating chronic muscle pain.

Most massage techniques act on the superficial muscles. The deep tissue massage is directed sharply towards the deeper layers of the muscles, which produces a state of deep and lasting relaxation.

In this technique the massage therapist uses his hands besides the forearms, elbows, etc. It will perhaps cause some discomfort, but then you will feel much more relieved and degree of mobility and flexibility will increase remarkably.

A general massage session will take about 50,80 or 100 minutes.

BENEFITS OF MASSAGES AT PSYCHIC LEVEL.

We know the benefits of massage on a physical level: to help relax areas of tension, improve blood circulation, release toxins through the cells, remove dead skin cells, relieve tensions and help reduce ailments such as arthritis , Muscular tensions, sports injuries, headaches …. Nevertheless, something very important is to emphasize the benefits that the massages contribute to an optimum psychic level.
Massages are a therapy in itself, as it adds benefits not only physical, but psychic and spiritual. We are a functional unit and our muscular tensions are directly related to our psychic tensions
Among the benefits that can indicate a psychic level are:

Self-awareness
– Mute the mind
-Enjoy concentration.
– It works as an antidepressant.
– It deeply sensitizes

It promotes the release of endorphins, substances that do not give a feeling of well-being and that do not help to support the pain. They are the same ones we release when we laugh; So it helps to combat depression and negative moods.
Give yourself a massage to make you feel better.

Benefits of massage in the cardio-vascular system.

Benefits of massage in the cardio-vascular system.

Blood acts like a train of goods in our body; Is leaving the items (nutrients for muscles and organs), and collects waste (waste metabolism). The heart (like a powerful hydraulic pump), its main organ, is a muscle that acts like a pump to make blood circulate throughout the body. It is divided into four cavities: two atria at the top and two at the bottom.

The heart pumps oxygenated blood through the left ventricle to serve the body through a network of smaller arteries and capillaries that carry nutrients to the tissues.

Blood containing little oxygen and containing carbon dioxide is transported back into the heart through capillaries and veins. The veins of the legs have valves to favor the blood flow, to avoid recoil of the blood and to counteract the force of the gravity.

Blood enters the right atrium and passes through the right ventricle into the lungs, where it receives fresh oxygen.

He then returns to the heart through the left atrium to start his course again.

The benefit of massage in the circulation …

The massage with its stimulation helps the train of goods (the blood) to improve its circulation.
Massage helps transport trash (metabolic waste) from the muscles through the capillaries and veins, improving the transport of nutrients to muscles and organs through the arteries and capillaries.

In addition massage with its calming effect can also have a beneficial effect on heart rate.

Some physiological effects of massage

Some physiological effects of massage

The physical effects of massage therapy can improve or relieve pain and reduce the possibility of injury in several ways. Massage increases the health of the body’s internal tissues, improving circulation of blood and nutrients.

Massage involves two types of responses:


• Mechanical responses as a result of pressure and movement as soft tissues are manipulated


• Reflex responses in which nerves respond to stimulation.

Massages allow more fluids and nutrients to flow through the tissue. Waste products are disposed of and again oxygen and nutrients are supplied.

Stretching the tissues during a massage helps the muscle fibers to release the tension they accumulate.

Effects on skeletal system


• Massage can help increase mobility of the joints, reducing any thickening of the connective tissue, and helping release movement restrictions


• Helps release adhesions, break down scar tissue and decrease inflammation. As a result, it can help restore the range of motion of stiff joints.


• Massage improves muscle tone and balance, reduces physical stress accumulated in muscles and joints.

Effects on the muscular system


• Massage relieves muscle tightness, stiffness, spasms and restrictions on muscle tissue.
• Increases flexibility in muscles due to muscle relaxation.


• Increases blood circulation by bringing more oxygen and nutrients into the muscle. This reduces fatigue and muscle pain.


• Promotes rapid removal of toxins and waste products from muscles.

Scientific basis of massage therapy (part 3)

Scientific basis of massage therapy (part 3)

By Andy Caso,

Massage improves the osteoarticular system with a blood supply to the joint and surrounding tissues, elevating the formation and circulation of synovial fluid.

Increases the elasticity of the ligamentous apparatus.


Massotherapy benefits the bone system favoring the absorption of calcium.

In the intestines massage increases gastrointestinal motility by controlling the secretion of insulin and glucose, hormones involved in the absorption of nutrients. That is why massage improves nutrition and optimizes the digestion process.

It favors the ability of the nervous system to receive stimuli by increasing the excitation threshold; Except for pain, whose perception is diminished.
It is proven that massage increases neural connections (synapses).
In addition, masotherapy increases parasympathetic activity and improves cognitive and learning abilities.

Metabolism: Decreases blood levels of cortisol (stress hormone) and excess catecholamines (related to high blood pressure and stress).
Increases serotonin (neurotransmitter). Increases melatonin (thought to regulate sleep periods.
It increases the production of endorphins (the so-called “internal morphine” because of their similar chemical structure and, therefore, the same effects of analgesia and well-being).

Massage has been shown to have a positive effect on virtually all systems.
