When the body is touched, receptors in the skin send messages to the brain causing the release of chemicals such as endorphins. This produces a sense of relaxation, euphoria and well-being and usually also provides pain relief.
Massage improves the flow of blood and lymph fluid, helps eliminate waste products from the body, and relaxes the muscles - it can help regulate hormone production and stimulate the immune system.
As well as the above, body massage can be useful for specific ailments such as back and neck pain, asthma, convalescence and recuperation, insomnia, headaches, sports injuries, immune deficiency disorders and is especially effective for stress related disorders and depression.
"I suffer with cerebral palsy and am in a wheelchair. Because of my condition I find I have extremely sore muscles and am in constant pain. Alex comes to my home twice a week to give me massage and has managed to adapt her treatment to work around my chair. The treatment helps with the pain and gives me relief and added mobility in my upper body. If Alex didn't offer a mobile service I wouldn't be able to have the massage because I never leave the house un-aided. I look forward to my treatments very much and wish that I could afford to have her every day."
