Massage has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, eliminates congestion in the small and large circles of blood circulation, and increases the pumping and contractile function of the heart. Also, trophism and nutrition in blood and lymph cells improve, and tissues are saturated with oxygen.
Massage stimulates the hematopoietic function, promoting the formation of hemoglobin and red blood cells.
The movement of lymph through the tissues and vessels is relatively slow. All lymph passes through the thoracic lymphatic duct only 6 times a day, while complete blood circulation takes 20-25 seconds. Under the influence of massage, edema disappears, this is due to improved drainage of tissues, and stimulation of lymph flow. The immune function of the body increases, due to the improvement of the lymphatic system.
Massage techniques such as rubbing and squeezing will help improve and accelerate lymph flow. Rubbing techniques will increase the local temperature, this will lead to the expansion of blood vessels, which will facilitate their emptying.
Once the vessels are ready for emptying, do squeezing techniques.
