It’s almost instinct to understand that a therapeutic massage can relieve much of the tension and soreness from previous exercise, but how and why is massage helpful in recovery? In this essay I will be explaining the correlation between massage and its ability to relieve muscular tension and expedite muscle recovery. While addressing the more scientific effects of massage to expose the biological process and healing purpose of the practice.

According to the article, the effects of massage on muscle reparation is biologically defined by the stimulation of the mitochondria. The mitochondria is like the microscopic factory found within the cell that is responsible for transforming glucose into the energy that is needed for a cells functioning and repairing. Since massage has the ability to energize these biological repairmen the recovery process is accelerated and the amount of time it takes to recover is dramatically
