#Muscles are mostly connected to #bones and work together to allow #movement in the body. This combination is also referred to as the musculoskeletal system. Besides that, muscles are also components of organs such as #bloodvessels , respiratory and digestive tracts. There are 3 types of #muscletissue with distinct characteristics :
1️⃣ Skeletal Muscle: voluntary, 600 of them making half of our weight
2️⃣ Smooth muscle: Involuntary, situated at the walls of internal organs and blood vessels. When they contract, they produce internal organ mobility. Contraction is slow but can last for a long time
3️⃣ Cardiac Muscle: Involuntary, situated at the walls of the heart. Intermediate contraction & similar ability to remain contracted
THAI MASSAGE BENEFITS TO MUSCULAR SYSTEM AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE ⬇️

For example Several studies in Thailand, showed an 85% improvement in cases related to muscle tension, pain & Office Syndrome through Thai Massage various application techniques .
⬇️ FUNCTIONS OF MUSCLES
1️⃣ Create movement from one place to the other
2️⃣ Produce internal mobility by contraction of smooth muscle
3️⃣ Muscle contractions produce and release heat to maintain body temperature
4️⃣ Contractions also compress and stimulate blood & lymph flow
