Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Therapeutic massage typically leads to physical, mental, emotional, and other benefits. These are explained briefly in the following list.
1 . Physical benefits. Massage therapy is intended to stretch and loosen tight muscles.
Among the resulting benefits are that it can:
 Loosen joints and improve range of motion
 Relieve cramps and muscle spasms
 Lessen muscle fatigue
 Improve blood flow and the movement of lymph throughout the body
 Facilitate the removal of metabolic waste resulting from exercise or inactivity
 Increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to cells and tissues, which speeds healing from injury or disease
 Relieve symptoms of disorders such as headache, chronic and acute pain, asthma, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, and athletic injuries
In addition, massage stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkiller.
1 . Mental benefits. Massage therapy provides a relaxed state of alertness, reduces mental stress, and enhances the capacity for calm thinking and creativity. Massage also can improve the duration and quality of sleep and increase the ability to concentrate.
2 . Emotional benefits. Massage therapy satisfies some of the need for caring and nurturing touch. It can improve feelings of well-being, and it reduces anxiety.
3 . Additional benefits. Massage can help combat the negative effects of aging by enhancing tissue elasticity, improving immune system functioning, and relieving muscle aches and stiffness. Athletes and other performers commonly use massage to help them relax, prepare for performances, and hasten repair from injury. After receiving a massage, people frequently report feeling lighter, more energized, and more peaceful.
