to muscles without adding to their load of toxic lactic acid, produced
through voluntary muscle contractions.

or "knots".

on the type and length of treatment given.

also increases interchange of substances between the blood and tissue cells,
heightening tissue metabolism.
Massage stretches connective tissue, improves its circulation and nutrition
and so breaks down or prevents the formation of painful adhesions or knots.
