Circulation Related Discomforts

Poor circulation can affect the entire body, from the head to the toes. Circulation is critical to the functions of the body and the ability to move freely and comfortably. There are multiple discomforts and issues related to poor or blocked circulation:

  • Numbness or tingling in extremities
  • Swelling
  • Cramps
  • Skin discoloration
  • Painful walking (legs and feet)
  • Cold feet and hands
  • Backache
  • Joint pain
  • Muscle pain and weakness

Proper circulation delivers vital oxygen and nutrients to all of the cells in the body, promoting healing, carrying hormones, and removing waste. Blood supply is vital to the successful, speedy healing of injuries, and a wound or injury that is not getting a good blood supply can take twice as long to heal. Your circulation is critical to the function of your body, from keeping muscles strong and healthy to healing cuts, breaks, or other injuries. 

How Massage Can Help Your Circulation

Massage moves blood through areas where it is blocked, working to improve circulation to and through those areas. The pressure applied during massage, and subsequent release of pressure, causes new blood to flow to that area.

Massage also releases lactic acid from the muscles, increasing the flow and release through the lymphatic system. (This is the system that removes metabolic waste from the muscles and internal organs.) Increased blood flow and improved lymphatic function help muscles heal, reduce inflammation, and reduce muscle and joint pain.

Although circulation improves the most dramatically with exercise and movement, massage is a great addition to these efforts. It warms the muscles and helps reduce muscle fatigue, which in turn allows you to get back to the exercise you love.
