Deep Tissue/Muscle Re-Education

Deep Tissues Massage changes the physiology of the body. In medicine we learn that the parasympathetic nervous system response to touch is:

Decreases heart rate/pulse
Decreases respiration
Decreases blood pressure
Decreases stress hormones cortisol and norepinephrine
Decreases pain
Increases relaxtion
Increases circulation and
Increases lymphatic flow rate
Enhances immune function
Increases or stimulates the vagus nerve

Why do muscles respond to massage?
How it works is through proprioception, which is muscle memory, located in the muscle tendon. When sustained pressure and stretching is applied to the tendon, the muscle will relax. The memory at the cellular level tells the muscle to return to the original state of being.
