Massage affects the circulatory and lymphatic system. The heart receives oxygen poor blood from the body and through a series of chambers and valves the blood is pushed to the lungs to become oxygen rich, the blood returns to the heart to have oxygen rich blood taken to areas of the body. Massage encourages blood movement to the heart and this exchange of deoxygenated blood for oxygen rich blood. The lymphatic system is important to immune function. It is the detoxing system of the body. The lymphatic system has a job to move toxins and help the body rid waste. Massage encourages the lymphatic system with its function.
