Can Massage Therapy Improve Blood Flow?

Many people turn to massage for relaxation, but did you know it can also support healthy circulation? Massage therapy helps stimulate blood flow throughout your body, especially in the legs and feet. By gently pressing and moving muscles, massage can help push blood through your veins and bring more oxygen and nutrients to your tissues.

For people dealing with tired, aching legs or poor circulation, massage may offer relief. It can help reduce swelling, loosen tight muscles, and promote venous return — the process of blood flowing back to the heart. Massage also helps your lymphatic system, which removes waste and extra fluid from your body.

While massage isn’t a cure for serious vein problems like varicose veins or venous insufficiency, it can be a helpful part of your daily wellness routine. If you have a known vein condition, always talk to a healthcare provider before trying massage, especially deep tissue styles. Light, gentle massage is usually best for vein health.
