Does Remedial Massage Help to Remove Lactic Acid?

3/2/2018

Picture
"Massage Can Remove Toxins from the Body..."     and
"REMEDIAL MASSAGE CAN FLUSH LACTIC ACID OUT OF YOUR BODY..." are phrases that we often hear.

I'd love to say that massage is a miracle cure for the removal of 'toxins' and lactic acid. However, this is a myth. There is an alarming amount of misinformation related to massage. At Just Knead It we are on a mission to raise the bar of our industry starting with dispelling some myths. 

QUICKLY:  
  •  The likelihood of lactic acid being removed from the body through massage is low.
  • The body already has an amazing mechanism for naturally removing lactic acid.
  • Within an hour the body will have removed all traces of lactic acid
  • Did you know that it’s not lactic acid that is responsible for muscle soreness nor does it impact performance?

Simeon Cairns, an authority on health sciences, writes “It should not be taken as fact that lactic acid is the deviant that impairs exercise performance.” 

In this blog we are going to tackle:
  • Why are you sore after exercise and what causes the 'deep burn' at the end of a race?
  • What is lactic acid's role in energy production for muscles? 
  • Why can't massage help to remove lactic acid? (Bust this myth right open!!) 
  • What does impact muscle performance and cause fatigue?
  • How can massage help in recovery?
