- Compressing and squeezing the muscles causes drainage of the blood and lymph. Lymph is the fluid used by the lymphatic system, which is the body's waste disposal system.
- Improves circulation.
- Warms the muscles and helps release lactic acid - the stuff that makes you ache after exercise.
- Tissues are stretched slightly and because of this, mobility is improved.
- Scar tissue is lengthened, softened and stretched. This can reduce the visibility, especially if wheatgerm and mandarin oil is used.
- Adhesions (lumps of scar tissue found in the muscle) are freed and reabsorbed into the body.
- Mucous from the lungs is freed and circulation to the lungs improved.
- Wind from the abdomen is released.
- Skin is improved by desquamation (shedding), which alters the texture. The skin is also softened by oil if used as a massage medium. The circulation increases, which improves the condition and colour of the skin.
- Oedema (fluid retention) can be reduced by improvement of lymph and blood drainage.
- Massage also has an effect on the body systems.

- The person receiving the massage has someone who is paying the their undivided attention. People often speak more openly during a massage because of this, which can help to ease any worries they may have.
- The recipient often feels pampered, cared for and loved. This can increase self-esteem.
- Physical well-being effects mental well-being and vice-versa.
