Massage will improve blood and lymph circulation, and help prevent fluid retention and swelling. It will assist in the prevention of disease by balancing the flow of energy and encouraging the body to eliminate toxins. The lymphatic system is part of the body's immune system. Impaired flow in the network of these fluid filled vessels and nodes can be brought about by stress, poor diet, lack of exercise or infection. This will lead to a build up of waste materials and inflammatory conditions. Joint mobilisation serves a twofold purpose. First, to maintain or restore flexibility in the joint and reduce tightness that restricts active movement. Second, movement of the joints through their entire range of motion has the effect of pumping the lymphatic and circulatory fluids away from these bottleneck areas.
