age is an effective technique for controlling pain. How does
it work? There are numbers of ways massage may help in controlling pain.
Massage
confuses the body’s pain signals:
* Rubbing may interfere with pain signal’s pathways to your brain, a process called the “gate control
theory”, according to experts. Pain impulses run toward the spinal cord, go up the cord and enter the brain. These impulse
are perceived as pain. When you rub, it sends other impulses along the same nerves. When all these impulses try to reach the
brain through the nerves, the nerves get clogged like a highway during morning rush hour. The results? Most of them won’t
reach the brain. And if the pain signals do not reach the brain, you won’t feel pain. Thus massage works by “closing
the gate” that pain impulses have to pass thorough.
Massage
also calls up the body’s natural pain killers:
*
Rubbing stimulates the release of endorphins (morphine-like substances) that the body manufactures, into
the brain and nervous system.
Massage provides deep relaxation:
*
It relieves muscle tension, spasm, and stiffness. All of these
contribute to pain. Experts suggest that tense muscles are usually deprived of
oxygen because the tightness reduces blood circulation to the area. Massage improves blood circulation. The muscles then relax,
and pain decreases.
Massage relieves mental stress and anxiety:
* Massage is providing the benefit by the therapeutic value of touching that helps a person in pain.
Research shows that even touch lasting for less than 1 second has the ability to make people feel better. Obviously, the touch
provided by massage has makes you feel good!
What Types of Pain Can Massage Help?
* Massage can help any pain originating from muscle tension:
for example - head, back, neck, and shoulder pain can benefit from massage. Releasing tightness and tension in muscles is
the most obvious effect of a good massage.
