There is limited research on the biochemical processes that take place to decrease muscle soreness in athletes after massage. This article rules out several potential reasons why athletes experience faster recovery rates and decreased muscle soreness after massage. Unfortunately, we still have little concrete evidence as to why massage decreases pain. I find this topic very interesting. I know from personal experience that massage decreases my muscle pain, and it feels great! There are a lot of theories out there, but no solid evidence of its effectiveness. If anyone has more information than me (from a reputable source), I'd love to read it! I can't wait until they find out why it makes us feel so good. Until then, I'll just have to be satisfied with my personal feelings about its effectiveness.
