A massage works by causing the body to respond in two ways. First, there’s the mechanical response as a result of the muscle pressure from the therapist. Blood vessels dilate, and circulation to the area improves while the nerves respond by relaxing. The fresh oxygen and nutrients delivered to the area helps the body remove the toxins and adhesions in the area – effectively clearing the muscle group out.
As a result, the muscles experience an increase in range of motion and flexibility. Studies have also proven that massages encourage the growth of new mitochondria – the energy producing units in the cells. The parasympathetic nervous system is also activated.
In conclusion, there are a whole host of benefits athletes can experience from having massages on their travels. The spas for men in London make it convenient for travellers to experience those benefits right from the comfort of their home away from home.
