Massage is an important part of rest & recovery for many reasons, including; ✔Increased blood flow, which increases nutrient delivery & toxin removal ✔Increased mitochondria activity (powerhouse of the cell...the part of the cell that releases energy from food) ✔Decreased inflammation of the muscles ✔Decreased muscle tightness & increased flexibility ✔Helps shorten recovery time between workouts ✔Can help prevent over-training syndrome by relaxing the muscles, as well as causing a sedative effect on the nervous system ✔Helps prevent & even heal injuries by affecting the excretion of certain fluids (nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur) necessary for tissue repair #massage #wellness #mindbody #naplesflorida #athlete #sportsmassage #selfcare #restandrecovery
