Relaxing the muscles before bone movement allows the bone to move easier and stay longer. Its like when you want butter in a different shape you warm it up than mold it in to the shape you desire. Muscles are like butter. After you massage them, they settle in a different position if the bone has been moved properly. Over a period of time of working with the bones and muscles thy will find a better and more comfortable position, and return to a more natural state.
