Benefits of Body Massages.

Historical artefacts show that massage has been practised for at least 5,000 years, but people have probably appreciated a nice back or foot rub for much longer than that.
But with recent studies on massages, it can be seen that they are in fact very much effective and have several benefits. Several body massage techniques can be witnessed around the world. Many of them have been researched upon and the others are reliable in accordance with their results. 
For centuries, numerous healers have tried their hand at several massage techniques to relieve the body from pain and to aid in the treatment of several diseases. .
Modern medicine is several paces ahead of this therapeutic technique and body massages has made their way to healthcare in recent times.
Types Of Massage:
1.Swedish: This type uses light, long strokes to ease muscle tension.
2.Shiatsu: This form of massage originates from Japan and involves applying pressure to specific points on the body. People can also get this type of massage on the face.
3 Gua sha: This method of facial massage involves using a flat crystal tool to massage the contours of the face. It originates in East Asian medicine.
4.Lymphatic drainage: This type of massage moves lymph, which is a type of bodily fluid, beneath the skin. Some people use it to reduce puffiness.
5.Thai Massage
This body massage technique is pretty popular. The masseuse uses their bodies to bend or stretch the individual’s body, which greatly benefits the joint and muscle health
6.Neuromuscular Massage Therapy:
Neuromuscular massage therapy also focuses on using pressure-points on nerve bundles to improve overall circulation, posture and other movement based issues. Neuromuscular massage technique is mainly used for improving muscle and joint movement. 
Benefits of Body Massages:
Prevents Fibromyalgia.
Post Surgical Pain Relief.
Mood Escalation.
Prime Remedy for Headaches.
Increases Agility.
Combats Back Pain.
Helps with Osteoarthritis.
Anti-Anxiety Therapy.
Many people find massage an enjoyable experience, but is it also medically beneficial.
You might have heard that massage can reduce pain and muscle soreness, relieve muscle knots, flush out toxins, boost the immune system, reduce stress, and prevent depression.
Massage can aid muscle recovery after exercise. According to physiotherapists the massaged muscles will recover 60 per cent of their strength after four days, compared to just 14 per cent for muscles that were only rested. 
The massaged muscles had fewer damaged fibres and signs of inflammation, which may explain why they recovered faster.
People can use their fingers, thumbs, the heel of their hands, or a tool to massage the face.
Massage Tools:
1.Face rollers: 
These devices apply even, gentle pressure to the skin. They come in a range of sizes and materials, including metal, wood, glass, and crystal. Some manufacturers claim that certain types of face rollers, such as jade rollers, offer additional benefits. 
2.Heated massagers:
Some companies make face massagers that heat up. This may help soothe aches and pains or help a person feel relaxed.
3.Chilled massagers: 
Cold massagers may contain a liquid that keeps the tool cold, or they may require a person to store them in the refrigerator. They provide a refreshing sensation and may temporarily tighten the skin.
4.Vibrating massagers: 
Some face massagers also vibrate. Manufacturers claim this gives a more intense massage.
The basic aim of massaging various parts of the body is to soothe the tension amongst the muscles and also to cut back on stress. 
It is clinically proven that massaging techniques effectively reduce stress and anxiety levels in terminally ill patients. Body massage basically involves pressurizing certain parts of the body using hand and finger movements.
Exactly what massage does at a cellular level is not fully understood, but researchers have analysed that post-exercise massage stimulated the production of energy-generating structures, called mitochondria, and reduced inflammatory proteins.
The scenario nowadays is very dynamic. Body Massages are recreationally done for relaxation as well as for rehabilitation of patients dealing with immense amounts of pain. Body Massages are non invasive and thus help the body from the outside.
