Many elite athletes have the luxury of receiving massages once, maybe twice a week. Secondly, an exercised muscle is much like a clenched fist after a workout. IT will not only bring greater volumes of fresh blood to the muscle, but will also force relaxation of the muscle to allow greater absorption of the much needed circulation and recovery drink an athlete may have taken. In sports today, all experts are becoming very aware of the impact of trigger points. . I now agree.
Trigger points are involuntary contracted muscle fibers that are a by-product of muscular activity.
Initially there is no conscious sensation associated with the trigger point. By continually cleaning muscle, especially priority muscle, the transfer of necessary nutrients and oxygen to the muscle will improve greatly, thereby dramatically reducing the likelihood of injury. When muscles can be quickly and efficiently massaged multiple times per day, accumulation of waste products is greatly minimized, increased volumes of fresh blood are continually being brought to the muscle and muscles will remain more flexible and better prepared for activity. Performance Needless to say, a muscle that is clean, flexible, has greater volumes of blood, oxygen and nutrition will have quicker recoveries and a greater performance potential. This is narrow thinking.
