“…Accordingly, many professionals suffer from pathologies such as musculoskeletal disorder due to the amount of exposure to repeated uncomfortable postures, maneuvers and manipulations (Albert et al, 2008;Murali et al, 2014;Rossettini et al, 2016). Another strength of robotic devices delivering massages is the opportunity to homogenize massage techniques, such as the palpate-rolling in the context of anticellulite (Xiaoqin and Yonggen, 2010;Mezencevová et al, 2017). In the case of a purely robotic massage routine, participants for now remain in a passive situation, and thus exclusively engage retroactive modes of action control.…”

Manual massage and foam rolling are commonly used by athletes for warm-up and recovery, as well as by healthy individuals for well-being. Manual massage is an ancient practice requiring the intervention of an experienced physiotherapist, while foam rolling is a more recent self-administered technique. These two topics have been largely studied in isolation from each other. In the present review, we first provide a deep quantitative literature analysis to gather the beneficial effects of each technique through an integrative account, as well as their psychometric and neurophysiological evaluations. We then conceptually consider the motor control strategies induced by each type of massage. During manual massage, the person remains passive, lying on the massage table, and receives unanticipated manual pressure by the physiotherapist, hence resulting in a retroactive mode of action control with an ongoing central integration of proprioceptive feedback. In contrast, while performing foam rolling, the person directly exerts pressures through voluntary actions to manipulate the massaging tool, therefore through a predominant proactive mode of action control, where operations of forward and inverse modeling do not require sensory feedback. While these opposite modes of action do not seem to offer any compromise, we then discuss whether technological advances and collaborative robots might reconcile proactive and retroactive modes of action control during a massage, and offer new massage perspectives through a stochastic sensorimotor user experience. This transition faculty, from one mode of control to the other, might definitely represent an innovative conceptual approach in terms of human-machine interactions.
