Optimum muscle growth lays the foundation for better physical health and overall body strength. Besides a good diet and nutrition, massage therapy can also be quite a crucial factor for the progress of muscle growth in professional athletes as well as bodybuilders.

It is a great way to reduce muscle fatigue which leads to better recovery and better performance.

Massage therapy heals the muscle fibers from the wear and tear they have suffered during a workout or any other physical activity. This reduces the intense tension and inflammation in the soft muscle tissues and helps them to quickly recover.

Let us understand how massage therapy contributes to muscle growth:

1. As muscle fibers heal from the post-workout strains, the tissues usually come even closer to each other than they were before. This limits the area of expansion of muscles.

2. This may decrease the flexibility of muscles which will eventually hinder their range of motion.

3. Owing to a short range of motion and low flexibility, the muscles are not able to function properly during training sessions. It can also cause muscle tightness and triggers injuries.

4. Massage therapy will stretch those closely-packed muscle fibers thereby easing muscle tension. The muscles would then be able to lengthen and will also become more flexible.

5. High degree of flexibility between muscles will enable them to expand properly. This will support having a proper form and technique during workout which will lead to better muscle growth.

6. Proper form and technique not only contributes to muscle growth but also avoids the chances of suffering from any potential injury owing to improper technique or form while performing a particular movement.

7. Increased muscle tension can also have a drastic impact on the performance of compound movements and movements demanding high muscle flexibility and mobility.

8. This may restrict the athlete to reap the benefits of compound movements in terms of muscle growth and developing more strength.

9. Muscle tension can also lead to a lack of muscle activation during such movements.

10. A massage therapist will reduce the tension between the muscles which will allow them to get activated while doing compound movements.

11. Better muscle activation during compound movements would make muscles even stronger.

12. Intense and vigorous workout sessions can also cause athletes and weightlifters to suffer from muscle pain and achiness.

13. This pain can be the effect of microscopic tears in muscle tissues as well as the formation of lactic acid within the muscles during workouts and training.

14. Muscle pain can compel the athlete or weightlifter to stop training and resort to rest. Not only will this hamper their muscle growth but also leads to stress for not being able to train themselves.

15. In some cases, such pain can even escalate to serious injuries. Such a condition can stretch the rest period to long durations. Muscle loss in such cases is bound to happen.

16. Massage therapists use various techniques that provide relief to athletes and weightlifters from muscle aches and pain. Some of these techniques are:

Kneading

Skin rolling

Deep Strokes

17. Relief from pain and muscle soreness will not only enable them to resume training but will also increase their morale and motivation levels.

18. Ultimately, they will lift with even more energy that will lead to better performance and more muscle growth.

19. Getting a post-workout massage can also improve blood circulation in the body.

20. Quick blood circulation will carry more oxygen to worn-out muscles after a vigorous workout. With adequate oxygen supply, the muscles are repaired and healed.

21. A good muscle recovery will prepare the body for the next workout session and show amazing results in terms of muscle growth.

22. Massage therapists can also provide relief from various other musculoskeletal issues that could be a potential roadblock to muscle growth in athletes and weightlifters such as:

Lower back pain

Stiffness in shoulders

Tight hamstrings

Neck ache

23. Massage therapy helps athletes and weightlifters to feel even more happy and calm after workout sessions. A calm and happy mind will promote better sleep. Better sleeps thus leads to muscle hypertrophy.

Conclusion:

Vigorous workout and training hours cause a lot of wear and tear to muscles. It also triggers muscle tension and causes pain in muscles.

Muscle therapy will ensure to ease the muscle tensions and help you on your path of muscle growth.

For a healthy lifestyle, a healthy gut is a must. Digestive problems can mess up your entire day and can hamper your productivity. Sometimes, these problems in the gut may get triggered by a slight misalignment in the spine.

These issues can even culminate in sore stomach pain. It can also drastically affect the entire gastrointestinal system as a whole.

1. Chiropractic stomach adjustment can help you to get relief from intense stomach pain. This can be done by restoring the alignment of the nerves in the spine. For this, chiropractors may use certain techniques such as a massage or any other chiropractic tools.

2. This will eventually lead to proper alignment of the spine, thereby mitigating pain and other digestive issues.

3. The primary cause leading to stomach ache owing to spine alignment is ‘subluxations’.

4. Subluxations happen when the vertebrae in the spine that runs along the back get misaligned. Owing to such misalignment, the entire nervous system gets disturbed.

5. The nervous system runs throughout the entire body, including the gastrointestinal system as well. Any sort of issues with the nervous system can significantly impact the gastrointestinal system as well.

6. Subluxations also lead to nerve interference. As a result, the connection between the nerves branching out from the lower part of the spine and the nerves in the gastrointestinal system gets hampered.

7. Eventually, the message transmission between the nerves in the spine and that in the gastrointestinal system gets hampered.

8. This exerts more and more pressure on the muscles in the abdomen area. Such unwanted pressure give rise to many digestive issues such as:

Stomach pain

Improper digestion

Lack of food movement through the digestive system

Insufficient absorption of nutrients and minerals

Improper intestinal function

Constipation

Bloating

Gas

9. Such a problem can escalate further if the patient spends most of this time sitting on a chair. This is because in such a case, the abdomen muscles have to bear even more pressure.

10. A chiropractor will start the treatment by restoring the misalignment in the spine vertebrae by working upon the central nervous system.

11. The two most common types of techniques that a chiropractor uses to restore spine misalignment are:

Spinal manipulation

Spinal mobilization

12. In spinal manipulation, controlled pressure is applied to spinal joints. Quick thrusts are used to correct the misalignment. It is deemed as one of the most effective techniques to treat spine misalignment by some professionally trained chiropractors.

13. It has also been claimed by certain chiropractors that a successful spinal manipulation treatment not only just restores digestive issues, but also leads to an even improved digestive system.

14. In spinal mobilization, very gentle and light pressure is applied on some spinal points.

15. In some cases, a chiropractor can resort to some tools for the treatment. These tools generally include:

Digital X-ray machine

Therapeutic ultrasound

Cold laser

Interferential current

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation

16. Massage and other therapeutic techniques can also be quite effective in the treatment of the patient.

17. During the treatment, a chiropractor will also recommend the patient some exercises and a diet plan to be followed regularly throughout the treatment. The exercises will help in keeping the spine active.

18. The body suffers from a lot of internal defects during spine misalignment. A clean and healthy diet will aid the body in restoring itself. This will also expedite the recovery.

19. The gut issues owing to spine misalignment are not just limited to stomach ache only. They can also lead to some even more critical issues and problems.

20. Such problems could be:

GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disorder)

Irritable bowel syndrome

21. GERD usually occurs due to irritation in the stomach organs. Such irritation gets triggered owing to the poor connection between the nerves of the stomach and that of the spine.

22. GERD has become quite common in adults as well as children. It can also cause other intense problems to the patient. These are chest pain, nausea, belching, and difficulty in swallowing.

23. A type of medication known as Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) is often used to treat GERD. But their side effects are quite unpleasant. In the long-term, they can drastically affect the stomach, kidneys and could even trigger other cardiovascular diseases.

24. Chiropractic treatment can also cure GERD quite effectively. It will restore the poor connection between the nerves. This will also eliminate the usage of drugs and medicines. As a result, side effects can also be avoided in patients.

25. An effective chiropractic session can also suppress the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. This will provide instant relief to the patient.

26. Optimum spinal health is a must for a healthy gut system. Proper chiropractic care under the supervision of a trained and professional chiropractor can restore the spine misalignment effectively.

27. Such treatment will also be quite budget-friendly. It will eliminate the root cause of the problem. This will ensure that the patient can fully recover from the problem.

Conclusion:

A spinal vertebrae misalignment can lead to a lot of digestive issues. These could range from simple issues such as bloating to serious gut problems like GERD.

Proper chiropractic treatment will effectively restore the spine misalignment. This will ultimately help the patient to recover from digestive issues.

For a healthy lifestyle, a healthy gut is a must. Digestive problems can mess up your entire day and can hamper your productivity. Sometimes, these problems in the gut may get triggered by a slight misalignment in the spine.
