Abstract: Massage has the potential to attenuate the inflammatory process, facilitate early recovery, and provide pain relief from muscular injuries. In this hypothesis-driven paper, we integrate the concept of mechanotransduction with the application of massage to explore beneficial mechanisms. By altering signaling pathways involved with the inflammatory process, massage may decrease secondary injury, nerve sensitization, and collateral sprouting, resulting in increased recovery from damage and reduction or prevention… Show more

“…; Waters‐Banker et al . ,b). Further, there is evidence that massage can decrease muscle atrophy since massage of facial muscles lessens atrophy and increases the tone of masticatory muscles (Balogh, ), and massaged muscles in a denervated cat were heavier and stronger (Suskind et al .…”

“…Butterfield et al (2008) showed that massage was efective in decreasing cell infitration, inflammation or oedema so as to fascilitate recovery process. Waters-Banker, Dupont-Versteegden, Kitzman and Butterfield (2014) added that massage could have an immunomodulatory therapeutic modality, it makes changes through immunity response. Through tranduction mechanism, massage was able to change the phenotype of macrophage M1 which has proinflammatory character to macrophage M2 which has anti-inflammatory character through differentiation of T helper cell Th1 to become Th2.…”

“…Timing of the massage treatment will influence its immunomodularry effects. Massage would be more effective if given immediately after injury (Waters-Banker et al, 2014).…”

“…This in turn results in the release of chemical mediators, including SP, from the damaged cells and the activation of nociceptor nerve endings. These chemical mediators, especially SP, sensitize the nociceptors’ response to normal stimuli by altering the transduction properties of the free nerve endings [6, 7]. …”
