Remedial massage helps to improve … the circulation of blood throughout the body. It breaks up fibrous, knotty tissue to relieve tension. It may reduce heart rate, helps to lower blood pressure and increases endorphin production. Even your immune system benefits from Remedial Massage, as it may decrease stress hormones which can inhibit immune cell production.
