The effect of massage on the skeletal system and joints

The main function is protection, support, and movement. The bones contain red bone marrow, which provides the function of hematopoiesis, and the bones are also involved in mineral metabolism, in particular phosphorus and calcium. Such formations as the spine and foot perform a shock-absorbing function, smoothing out shocks when walking and jumping.

The skeletal system, which includes joints, cartilage, and ligaments, is the same living tissue as, for example, skin tissue, and can also be destroyed and restored.

The transferred loads and microtraumas of the joints lead to their inactivity, swelling, wrinkling of the joint bags, and changes in the composition of the synovial fluid. In this case, massage will help improve the nutrition of articular tissues, get rid of painful manifestations, and prevent them.
