If a massage therapist is brought in by Mike trying to prove a point he would have picked a massage therapist with the same intention as himself, so any educated therapist can see that study shattered with that simple statement. I can squeeze your arm hard enough in a massage session to stop blood flow as well but my intension since I came in to this field was to help the body not hurt it. To people who are looking into receiving a massage please don’t let this study scare you as you’ve seen in other post on this site people receiving massage feel better than they do with medicine or physical therapy, if you don’t find this statement to be true your probably visiting the wrong therapist. I can’t tell you how long people have done this but I’ve noticed in history when something really works there are always people trying to find something wrong with that field to help theirs, which brings me to the reason I picked this line of work: one to help people with their pain and postural problems, and two you don’t have to use your mouth to show how well you do your job.

If you have a tight muscle the muscle fibers do restrict blood vessles and nerve impluses. Relaxing them opens the channels up so to speak. Using every tool that we can to put the body on a path to healing itself is something we should all be working toward. PT’s, Athletic Trainers, Sport Massage Therapists, Chiropractors ect..

After the volunteers had exhausted their forearms they were only given 10 minutes to recover. Any competent sports massage therapist would know that small amount of time to recover is not nearly sufficient for massage to assist to in the recovery of those eight forearm muscles; the body is just going to generally treat it as a continuation of the exercise. Those muscles tend to burn out quicker because of their smaller mass size. If the volunteers were maybe given a longer recovery time, we might have a different study on the presence of lactic acid. I would be interested in a study on how massage can assist with the reduction of muscle tension. They could do a similar study but with an ECG scan showing the before and after presence of trigger points.

After the volunteers had exhausted their forearms they were only given 10 minutes to recover. Any competent sports massage therapist would know that small amount of time to recover is not nearly sufficient for massage to assist to in the recovery of those eight forearm muscles; the body is just going to generally treat it as a continuation of the exercise. Those muscles tend to burn out quicker because of their smaller mass size. If the volunteers were maybe given a longer recovery time, we might have a different study on the presence of lactic acid. I would be interested in a study on how massage can assist with the reduction of muscle tension. They could do a similar study but with an ECG scan showing the before and after presence of trigger points."

I think anyone who has gotten regular massages can attest to the positive effects on our well being. My muscles always feel more limber and recovered after a massage. Some physiologic effect must be taking place. Perhaps the new technique of creating a “chemical snapshot” of the metabolic effects of massage is possible.

I think anyone who has gotten regular massages can attest to the positive effects on our well being. My muscles always feel more limber and recovered after a massage. Some physiologic effect must be taking place. Perhaps the new technique of creating a “chemical snapshot” of the metabolic effects of massage is possible.

I think anyone who has gotten regular massages can attest to the positive effects on our well being. My muscles always feel more limber and recovered after a massage. Some physiologic effect must be taking place. Perhaps the new technique of creating a “chemical snapshot” of the metabolic effects of massage is possible.

I have never massaged someone and they feel the same or worse it is always better and if not I would have the self respect to refer my client elsewhere. I will not make an ignorant statement by saying other fields in the healthcare system don’t do the same, but before I entered this field I seeked help for chronic pain for nine years from countless doctors and three different chiropractors none of which made the pain go away no one ever told me to try massage because those particular individuals felt it would threaten their field however the first week that we started to learn massage on myself and fellow students my pain disappeared.

I think anyone who has gotten regular massages can attest to the positive effects on our well being. My muscles always feel more limber and recovered after a massage. Some physiologic effect must be taking place. Perhaps the new technique of creating a “chemical snapshot” of the metabolic effects of massage is possible.
