2nd Feb, 2012: A recent study has found that a ten minute massage can thin out inflammation in muscle. The group of researchers followed eleven men around 20 years of age for their study.
Massage as a non-drug medical aid contains the potential to aid everyone with inflammation-related chronic problems like muscular dystrophy or arthritis.
Massage is well regarded as a therapy for letting off muscle pain and tension. The researcher dug deeper to see that it also sparks biochemical sensors which can post inflammation-reducing signs to the muscle cells.
According to Crane nobody has ever looked into the muscle to find out what is happening with massage, nobody ever saw the biochemical effects. This study has revealed the muscle senses that it is being stretched and this appears to reduce the cells’ inflammatory response and as a result, massage may be beneficial for recovery from injury.
