Hot Stone (LA Stone) Massage at the Hampshire Complementary Health Centre, Eastleigh Southampton

How can massage help you?
Massage has been used for thousands of years, but unfortunately for many of us its benefits are easily overlooked.
Did you know that there are over 600 muscles found in the body? This makes up between 40-50 % of your body weight. This is a huge amount of our body that we take for granted and assume it will continue to function normally without any help.
How problems occur

Muscle tissue is made up of bundles of long thin muscle fibres.
Upon contraction of a muscle, the muscle filaments become shorter and thicker. When the muscle relaxes again, the thinner filaments slide back out.
The above action, created by every day movement should be enough to aid the disposal of toxins and ensure a good blood supply to maintain healthy and correct muscle function.
Unfortunately due to everyday living, poor posture, injuries, stress and tension and to simple things such as muscle tone, cramp and muscle fatigue, the probability of having congestion and muscle adhesions (knots) is increased. All these symptoms can be helped by massage.
