How does it help?
The effects of massage may include the relaxation of voluntary muscles, the sedation of nerve sensors and improved blood circulation to the area. This may in turn enhance repair to damaged tissue, and replenish cellular nutritional levels. The receptor nerve endings affected by touch travel more quickly than those involved in chronic pain and can reduce the brain’s perception of the amount of pain from the affected area. Chemicals known as endorphins are also released from the brain and act as the body’s natural painkillers. These help to counter the sensation of chronic pain and give a feeling of well-being and relaxation.
Improving recovery means you can resume exercise/training sooner, with greater safety and with muscles that feel fresher and function more freely.
