Does massage cause muscle healing?

* Massage does not cause muscle loss: Massage is a muscle fiber massage. It cannot cause muscle loss.

* Rejuvenate: Reduce stiffness, Trigger point, reduce muscle flexion, reduce fatigue and pain from work or hard exercise, help muscle flexibility.

* Helps blood vessels expand, improves blood flow in the body, reduces the wealth of lactic acid, a waste product that occurs during muscle movement that causes pain, helps blood bring in new nutrients to better repair muscles, and improves metabolism in the body.

* If the massage is too heavy, it can cause temporary muscle strain or inflammation, which will heal in 1-2 days.

*

In conclusion, massage helps the muscles to loosen and recover well, does not cause the muscles to disappear.

First we need to understand why muscle players think that massage makes their muscles disappear.

From the experience of a Vedic training person like us, and from the same person who worries that the massage will make the muscles disappear. (Massage is a general massage, such as Thai massage, oil massage), it will feel, "After the massage is done, it will feel comfortable, it will feel good, but the muscles feel soft, liquid, not the same, feel less tension of the muscles, it will be quite worried about whether the muscles will disappear."

But in fact, we feel that the muscle tightness decreases after massage is the result of the muscle fibers that are stiffened by exercise and decomposition. Some of the Trigger Point nodules are decomposed or the nodules are smaller, the muscle fibers are more flexible, the circulation system within the massaged muscle is better, so we relax and feel that the muscles are softened.

(Trigger Point is a group of muscle fibers that bind together from prolonged muscle contractions, which can come from repetitive activity or constant exercise in the same position. If you press your finger to this ball, you will feel a lot of muscle pain.)

And the softening of the muscles or the light sense of relief does not mean that the muscles are weakened or healed. The muscles are only in a relaxed mode. It is true that after the massage, when we go to exercise, we feel that the performance of the body is missing. Because the muscles are in a relaxed mode, we should leave for about 3-4 hours.

And our muscle mass is smaller, our muscles are atrophy, or our muscles are cured:..

- Insufficient protein is obtained. The body therefore scales the muscle fibers to a smaller size to receive with the amount of food they eat.

- Because we rarely use that muscle, for example, a patient lying in bed, a person wearing a splint, or a person who is chronically injured, even if given enough nutrients, when we injure a part of the body, we do not dare to use that muscle enough, when we do not use it for a long time, the muscle is smaller, according to the body's rule: "If you do not use it, I reduce it," because the body sees it as a waste of energy to grow that muscle and not use it, our muscles will grow up to receive enough nutrients in conjunction with the regular use of that muscle.

 

So, anyone who thinks that massage will make muscle atrophy smaller or cause muscle disappearance, don't worry, that's impossible.

Like a professional athlete, after practice or competition, they will massage, but the massage is not like Thai massage or oil massage, but is a massage like an athlete, also known as Sport Massage, to soften muscle tension and fascia under the skin, increase blood flow throughout the body, help restore minor injuries from blood flow, because the blood will carry more nutrients to repair the damaged parts.
