How do holistic therapies work?

Massage of the skin and underlying tissues increases circulation of blood and lymph fluids, which is thought to increase oxygenation of the tissues and aid the removal of waste products. Massage is believed to stimulate skin receptors and the nervous system triggering the release of ‘feel-good’ chemicals, known as endorphins that help us relax. It may also help ‘block’ pain signals.
