A Better solution for your muscle recovery

Have you ever experienced muscle pain for a few days following each training session?

" DOMS "

A phenomenon known as delayed onset muscle soreness

What causes DOMS?

Muscle Spasm: Muscle activation leads to a compression of local blood vessels and ischemia (reduction in blood supply), resulting in muscle spasm.

Connective Tissue Damage: Muscle fibers have sheaths that surround them, and the strain on these fibers may cause pain or inflammatory response.

Muscle Damage: The workout causes physical microtrauma to the muscle tissue.

Inflammation: The 12–24 hour delay of pain onset—a hallmark of DOMS—may indicate an additional inflammatory response, causing secondary damage after the initial insult.

The effective way to relieve DOMS

Post-Exercise massage

Massage can help reduce muscle tightness caused by DOMS. Tightness of muscles can be a common symptom associated with DOMS. Massage can work directly onto the areas of tightness, restoring blood flow and relaxing the muscles. Massage also helps to treat symptoms of DOMS by maintaining flexibility.

Why do people rarely receive professional muscle massage therapy after exercise?
