Effects of massage Effects On Pain: • Modulates pain through gate control & β-endorphins Skin: • Purifies the skin from dead horny cells • Improves blood supply to tissues, increases skin temperature • Affects the venous and lymph flow, decreases oedemas • Improves skin and subcutaneous tissue trophicity • Enhances the activity of sweat and sebaceous glands • Contact stimulates cutaneous receptors Nervous System:Nervous System: • Reduces activity of sympathetic nervous system • Reduces fatigue, stress and increases the mental work abilities • Improves the transmission of nerve impulse processes.
- 22. Circulatory System:Circulatory System: • Blood flows from the internal organs to skin and muscles • Expand peripheral blood vessels • Improve blood supply to tissues and accelerate capillary blood circulation • Facilitate and accelerate venous blood circulation • Facilitate heart work and improve blood supply to cardiac muscle • Reduce blood pressure and decelerate heart rate Joint and ligament system: • Increases elasticity and agility of ligaments • Influences blood and lymph flow in bones and joints. • Most effectively works with friction. Effects of massage

Through the thoracic duct ( ductus thoracicus) all the lymph flows through only six times in twenty-four-hours • Massage empties cells from the end-products of metabolism, reduces lymph stasis and oedema. Muscle system: • Affects the blood and lymph flow in muscles • Enhances elimination of lactic acid • Restores muscle capacity two to four times (the number of active capillaries increases in muscles). In1mm² of the cross- section of muscles there are opened and functioning 1400 of capillaries • Increases or reduces muscle tone • Most effective are kneading techniques ( petrissage) Effects of massage
