Next in line are the Skeletal System and Muscular System. I think the Muscular System will be a Part all on it’s own, cause lets face it, it could take awhile! So here I’ll discuss the benefits to the bones, oh how we would just be a pile of mush without them! Not that bones are all that make up the skeletal system, lets not forget about all the associated cartilage, ligaments, and other stabilizing connective tissue structures. In addition to general tissue health promoted by good circulation, massage and related joint movements help maintain good joint function and range of motion. Movement of the joints stimulates production of synovial fluid that keeps joints moving smoothly. I love using joint movement in my sessions and my clients love it too!

Optimal range of motion is achieved when the bones are in proper alignment and the tissues surrounding the joints are healthy, pliable, and relaxed. Joint flexibility is enhanced with massage and stretching movements, exercise, and proper nutrition. Exercising your muscles also helps to exercise your joints, it makes everything stronger, the ligaments, tendons, everything. I’ll discuss this more in the muscular system post so…

Our skeletal system takes a big beating during activities and a lack of activity isn’t good either so make sure to tell your clients about all of the good things they are doing for their bones, joints, and associated cartilage by getting a great massage.
