Isn’t it great to take less anti-inflammatory pills due to therapeutic massage treatment? We would like to share a clinical study where scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton have found evidence at the cellular level that massage blunts muscle pain in a similar way to anti-inflammatory pills. The results of the studying samples of tissues post strenuous exercise that lead to muscle cell injury help to explain how massage seems to speed up recovery in athletes with injured muscles. “Dr. Tarnopolsky, who normally treats muscular dystrophy and mitochondrial disorders, became interested in investigating massage after he tore all of his hamstring muscles while water-skiing. He received massage therapy as part of his physiotherapy following surgery.” Please share with your loved ones that massage therapy is very effective for muscle injury and pain in athletes! In addition, elders may benefit from massage with muscle pain. Isn’t it great to take less anti-inflammatory pills due to excellent and therapeutic massage treatment?
