The bulk of the athletes can attest to the massages relieve pain and promoterecovery of the organism. But now there is already a scientific basis for its benefits: massage reduces inflammation at the cellular level and promotes the growth of skeletal muscle mitochondria. The research, conducted by researchers at the Buck Institute for Aging and McMaster University inHamilton (Canada), published in Science Translational Medicine and confirmsthat massage helps injured muscles to heal faster.
