After daily exercise, large muscle groups like the back will always feel sore, and even pressing a certain acupoint will be particularly painful. This may be a small nodule on the muscle, which is also called tenderness point. This concept was first put forward by Janet Travel, an American rehabilitation therapist, in 1942, which means that these nodules will start to be painful when they are stimulated by external or muscle, and radiate to the surrounding direction. The treatment method formed by this concept has been widely recognized in the circle of rehabilitation and rehabilitation teachers in Europe and America.
That is, if we do something wrong during exercise, our muscles will be slightly strained. After strain, there will be congestion and edema, hyperplasia and adhesion, muscle fiber calcification and decreased muscle fiber activity, thus forming the so-called muscle nodules. Simply put, it is the arrangement of muscle fibers one by one. If a muscle fiber is stimulated too much, the middle section will contract and contract together, and both ends will be passively elongated and the activity will be reduced. Several surrounding areas will also be affected, and this part of the muscle nodules will gradually form.
Generally, these tender spots are not particularly big, just as big as fingernails or beans. This formation leads to the decrease of blood flow around them, which makes this muscle lack of oxygen and cannot be changed into normal lactose metabolism. At this time, the brain will receive pain signals. If you do high-intensity exercise in this situation, when this muscle really works, the load of the muscle group will increase, the pain will become more and more serious, and there is even the risk of muscle strain.
Hot compress can increase the temperature of the parts with muscle nodules, dilate capillaries, promote blood circulation, accelerate the moisturizing of nutrition, relieve pain and diminish inflammation, and soften the calcification, proliferation and adhesion of some fibers.
Massage is also a way that Chinese medicine or the people admire. Since it is so hot, there must be some truth. From the point of view of western medicine, massage should not be too light. If you want to "eat", it may make the nodules disappear and the muscle fibers return to normal level.
Tennis press, tennis is called the artifact of muscle relaxation in the physical therapy field. It is small and portable, not as inconvenient to carry as a massage stick. Its elastic texture can easily bear the lighter contact points of human body, and can penetrate the strength into the deep layer of muscle or connective tissue, which can effectively treat pain points, especially the treatment of plantar parts.
Rolling the foam shaft, like tennis pressing, aims to relax the muscles. It can relax muscles in a large scale, accelerate local blood return, promote lymphocyte return, achieve the purpose of effective waste metabolism, and accelerate metabolism. But also can smooth muscle fibers, improve muscle flexibility, and sometimes even practice the core, killing two birds with one stone.
Go outdoors more, strengthen physical exercise and strengthen our physique. There will be similar muscle pain after exercise, so don't worry about fear. You can solve it easily if you treat it in the right way.
