Massage Therapy
for Muscle Pain
Therapeutic massage is one of the most effective interventions for reducing muscle soreness and tension, with both mechanical and neurological effects on pain.
How it works
Mechanically reduces muscle tension by disrupting trigger point formation. Increases local blood flow and lymphatic drainage. Stimulates endorphin and serotonin release, raising the pain threshold.
What to watch for
Timing matters for DOMS â massage 24â72 hours post-exercise is most beneficial. Intense massage in the first 24 hours post-injury can worsen acute inflammation. Foam rolling is a self-applicable alternative.
