According to maybe the first real study of what massage is actually doing, biologically-like, down to the molecular/gene expression level:
Things it does not do:
- Release toxins
- Balance chakras
- Eliminate lactic acid
Things it does do:
- Reduce inflammatory proteins like NFkB
- Increase the number of mitochondria in your muscle cells, allowing repair and cell growth
- Make you worry if your towel slipped and a muscular Scandinavian woman is staring at your butt
