Massage Therapy Improves Flexibility
As we age, our joints tighten and we lose the range of motion
we once enjoyed in our youth. One of the main reasons we become less
flexible as we get older has to do with certain changes that take place
in our connective tissues. As we age, our bodies gradually loose fluid
and dehydrate.
Massage therapy is an effective treatment for increasing and
maintaining flexibility and motion. By working on muscles, connective
tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints, massage can stimulate the
production and retention of our bodies' natural lubricants between the
connective tissue fibers, making stretching and movement easier, and
keeping the body flexible.
