HOW DOES MASSAGE HELP BUILD MUSCLES?

HOW DOES MASSAGE HELP BUILD MUSCLES?

Every top athlete in the world knows the role of massage in peak performance. Most of them have specialized massage chairs, massage guns, and other equipment in their homes to keep their muscles fresh. 

Athletes aren't the only ones who can benefit from massage. Did you know massage can help you build muscle? 

If you're into working out and are looking for a way to maximize your muscle growth, read on to learn more about how massage can help.

Massage guns increase blood flow to muscles

Massage helps muscle growth by increasing blood flow to muscles. A 2014 study published in the Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation supports that massage therapy increases the blood flow of muscles after exercise.

Increased blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, which helps them recover from workouts faster and grow bigger.

Massage guns improve muscle flexibility

Another benefit of massage is that it improves muscle flexibility. Massage gun therapy can help increase range of motion and prevent injuries by lengthening and relaxing muscles. This is especially important for people who are into weightlifting and other forms of strength training. Tight muscles can lead to injuries. Massage can help keep your muscles healthy and prevent injuries so you can train harder and longer. 

Massage for muscle flexibility

Massage guns reduce muscle soreness

One of the most common complaints people have after a workout is muscle soreness. According to a study published in the Journal of Athletic Training, athletes who massage their muscles before and after workouts experience 30% less delayed-onset muscle soreness. 

This is because massage helps increase the production of serotonin, a hormone that helps reduce pain. It means that you can recover from workouts faster and get back to the gym sooner.

Massage guns speed up muscle recovery

Massage doesn't just reduce muscle soreness; it also speeds up muscle recovery. Faster recovery from workouts means you can get ready for your next workout sooner.

A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that massage can reduce the amount of time it takes for muscles to recover by up to 50%.

This is because massage helps reduce inflammation and promotes the removal of toxins from muscles. Massage also helps improve circulation, which brings more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles.

All these factors combined help muscles recover faster from workouts and grow bigger.
