How does a massage relax muscles?
Massage therapy relaxes muscle tissue, which reduces painful contractions and spasms. Massage can also reduce nerve compression. ... Touching the skin or applying pressure relaxes muscles, tendons, and ligaments. During a massage therapy, a caring, safe touch is an invitation to relax. This, together with pain relief, produces a relaxation response. The relaxation response is a state in which your heart and breathing rate slow, your blood pressure goes down, your production of stress hormones decreases, and your muscles relax.
