| Your body circulates oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, where they are
converted to energy. In doing so lactic acid is produced, which together with other waste
is removed by the lymph system. Too much or too little activity reduces the efficiency
of this system, resulting in a build up of lactic cid, followed by fatigue. The result is
less energy towards the end of play or work, slowing productivity , not only in the
muscles but in the brain too.
Rest deals with this situation, but it takes time. And not enough rest can compound the
problem.
Massage can dramatically reduce this recovery time by stimulating the blood and lymph
flow and assisting in the continuance of good health. |
