Circulation is the process of your heart pumping blood through your veins. As the blood circulates, it delivers good oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells and gets rid of excess waste in our system. Good vein circulation is vital in preventing vein disease and maintaining health for your entire body.
Bad things start happening when our bodies are unable to circulate blood efficiently and successfully, it can lead a variety of issues, including…
Feet falling to sleep, zapped energy, bloating, fluid retention, edema and swelling of the legs and feet and embarrassing spider veins and varicose veins. When you suffer from poor circulation it can lead to pain and discomfort of the legs and feet, even severe venous ulcers.

The pressure you receive from the massage can move your blood through areas that may be congested where the blood is not flowing properly. The pressure and motions of a massage helps flush “metabolic waste” from your muscles and internal organs, which can lower blood pressure and provide better circulation and everyday body function. Plus getting a “massage” just feels good – helping relax your thoughts and tension, taking a lot of stress and discomfort off your tired body.
