The benefits of combining stretching and massage are to decrease muscle hypertonicity (overly toned and tight muscles) and provide pain relief. Having a good, effective stretch can increase the blood flow to your muscles; this leads to a better range of motion that helps your joints to stay in alignment. It is a remarkable way to improve health without wear and tear yet contributes to overall wellness.
In simple terms, assisted stretching is a technique where one person helps another person stretch while they remain in a relaxed state. Passive Stretch Massage has a positive effect on every system of the body. It directly affects the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. And it has an indirect effect on the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems. The deeper the access to the muscle and meridians, the more tension is released, therefore the body gains greater flexibility, mobility, and posture.
Stretching is an essential component to maintaining optimum health. It supports our joints and muscles as well as our emotional health by reducing stress levels in the body. Improved posture. Well-stretched clients will stand taller after stretching — or at least they will feel like they are. The act of lengthening muscles followed by a strengthening exercise program encourages proper alignment in the body and supports good posture.
When tight pectorals or anterior deltoids pull the shoulders forward, for example, this creates curvature in the upper back that makes a person appear hunched over. By lengthening those muscles and strengthening the antagonist muscles, a client’s posture can be corrected or improved significantly.
