A research result has been announced that the healing power of massage is closely related to changes in DNA activity rather than simple physical effects by hand movements. Researchers at McMaster University in Canada announced that they identified the mechanism by which massage relieves muscle pain in a paper published in the February 1st issue (online version) of Science Translational Medicine. According to the researchers, massage treats muscle pain by inactivating genes related to inflammation and activating genes that help muscles heal. This overturns the conventional wisdom (physical hypothesis) that “muscles are released through the hands of massage, and lactic acid or other waste products are discharged from tired muscles”, thereby giving scientific validity to massage and making massage a medical method. It seems to provide an opportunity to establish.
