Effects of Therapeutic Massage: Part 1- Circulatory System

Did you know Therapeutic Massage can effect more than muscles?🤯🤯

In fact, it can impact ALL of the systems of the human body.

Here are a few of the benefits massage has on the Circulatory System;

*Mechanically increases blood flow to allow the clearing of waste and toxins. Also, deliver oxygen and important nutrients throughout the body
*Helps release restrictions caused by tense muscles and tissue, which can normalize
circulation
*General relaxation can help increase blood flow
* May help prevent or slow the development of veracious veins (Massage should not be performed in areas where veracious veins have already formed)
*May help to reduce edema, inflammation, and bruising.

Deep Pressure and the Nervous System

Not every client benefits from deep pressure. For some, it can be the most counterproductive approach.

We’ve all heard clients say, “You can go as deep as you want, I like it hard.” But here’s what often gets overlooked:

When pressure is applied too deeply, too quickly, or for too long, the body doesn’t relax. It resists. That’s not therapy. That’s trauma with oil.

Instead of calming the nervous system and inviting the body into a restorative state, excessive force triggers a sympathetic response: adrenaline release, guarding, shallow breathing. Muscles don’t soften under this stress. They contract more.

You may feel like you’re “breaking through,” but the client’s nervous system is actually sending an urgent message: “Protect, protect, protect!”

This creates the illusion of progress without true change. The brain never receives the signal to let go, the parasympathetic system never takes over, and healing does not occur.

Deep work should feel safe, not forceful. It should invite the body to release, not invade it.

The most skilled therapists don’t achieve results by pressing harder. They do it by listening deeper. They adapt pressure in response to the nervous system, not to satisfy ego.

Because in the end, effective therapy isn’t about how deep you go. It’s about how deeply the body allows you in.

The Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) is a tricky muscle. When it tightens up, the pain doesn’t always stay confined to the neck. It can radiate into the forehead, around the eyes, or even cause dizziness and ringing in the ears. Many people chasing relief from migraines or vertigo don’t realize the true culprit may be sitting right in their neck.

Because it links posture, breathing, and movement, the SCM often compensates when the deep cervical flexors are weak or when stress drives someone into chest breathing. It also has a close relationship with the jaw. A tight SCM can feed into TMJ tension, throwing jaw mechanics off balance and adding to headaches or facial pain.

Release work can feel miraculous in the moment, but lasting change requires retraining diaphragmatic breathing, activating the deep neck stabilizers, and balancing jaw function. Without that, the SCM just keeps stepping in to take over jobs it was never meant to do.
