Deep Tissue Massage-Induced Muscle Damage is Associated with Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) and Rhabdomyolysis
Presenter(s)
Micah Maddio, Bailey Kerkow, Logan Murphy, and Ashley Wise
Abstract
Deep tissue massages are a common form of recovery for those who undergo strenuous physical activity. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is often a result of cell damage and tissue inflammation. Rhabdomyolysis, the breakdown of muscle tissue into the bloodstream, is diagnosed via excess muscle protein content. This research assesses the effects of post-activity deep tissue massage on three biomarkers: myoglobin, interleukin-6, and creatine kinase M using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and the effects on skeletal muscle health were assessed.
