An article from Cornell shows that a massage after vigorous exercise can help reduce muscle soreness. Several other studies show that deep massage helps to make muscle injuries heal faster, improves training in athletes and relieves painful pressure points in muscles and tendons.

Athletes use muscle soreness to guide them in their training programs. Most athletes train by taking a hard workout that damages muscles enough to make them feel sore on the next day. Then the athlete takes easier workouts until the soreness goes away. When the soreness is gone, the athlete takes a harder workout again. A 30-minute massage after a hard workout lessens next-day muscle soreness and allows athletes to recover faster so they can perform more work and compete at a higher level.

Most coaches and trainers recommend massage therapy to their athletes, but many physicians are still skeptical about its health benefits. Researchers at Ball State University showed that vigorous deep massage done 21 to 29 days after severe tendon injury hastened healing. Many people suffer from pain in their muscles and tendons, and a study from Denmark showed that deep massage therapy and regular exercise help to relieve these trigger point pains, while ultrasound does not.
