The Benefits of Regular Massage
Why do you feel great after a massage? One theory has it that massage releases toxins. It is a feasible idea. But researchers no longer believe that toxin-release comes into play.
In a new study, researchers asked subjects to cycle until they were exhausted. Each subject then received a leg massage – but for only one leg. Ten minutes after the massage, researchers took muscle tissue samples from each leg.
Protein levels provided evidence that two things were happening…
- The massage reduced inflammation
- Additional energy was generated for muscle healing
This finding fits neatly into a 2007 study. In that trial, massage relieved muscle pain by as much as 50 percent.
The “hands on” approach is a proven winner.
