Some of you that took up running this lockdown might be aware of the dreaded shin splints that follows regular pavement pounding.

Overload of the muscles around your shins can cause tightness and adhesions - of which Deep Transverse Friction (DTF) can help.

Although typically utilised in tennis elbow; there is a role to play in helping your shins too, as well as some interesting benefits:

🔹 Pain relief - via traumatic hyperaemia, increasing blood flow, aiding the removal of chemical irritants, and promoting transport of endogenous opiates. This relief can last up to 24hrs (De Bruijn, 1984).

🔹 Collagen fibre reorientation (Buckwalter, 1996)

🔹 Prevention/breakdown of adhesions - through mobilisation of scar tissue and disruption of cross-linkages (Walker, 1984)

⚠️ massage is not a cop-out for actually addressing the underlying causes of your pain. You need to consider your training conditions, biomechanics, footwear, strength, and balance to effectively manage (and prevent!) exacerbation in the LONG TERM ⚠️

This kinda work requires the assistance of a partner (or some creativity with props).

Introducing stretching regularly into your weekly routine can improve flexibility, and ease tension or soreness that accompanies exercise.

Good mobility is critical in athletes as a measure to improve performance and reduce risk of injury.

EFFLEURAGE

Sounds fancy right - effleurage is basically long rhythmic glides with graded pressures from light to moderate to deep.

I will always begin a session with this as it is a great way to introduce touch, gently warm the tissues, and ease people into it - getting a massage can be nerve racking the first few times!

Effleurage boasts many benefits not limited to moderating pain, increasing circulation, easing tension, and ultimately deep, deep relaxation (the release of happy hormones helps!).

Just to name a few! However, my disclaimer is that the perceived benefits will be unique to each individual. This concept makes achieving high levels of evidence tricky - naturally more research is needed.

1️⃣ Givi (2013), found that prehypertensive women receiving Swedish massage have an average drop in blood pressure of 12mmHg (~10% of baseline) up to 72hrs after!

2️⃣ Field et al (2005), Morhenn (2012), and Kaada (1989), conducted research on the influence of massage on neurochemicals and the perceived benefits to mood and relaxation - read more on previous post!

3️⃣ Zadkhosh et al (2015), selected 25 adolescent wrestlers with low scores on the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS). They observed statistically significant reductions in the scores following regular massages when compared to the control group.

4️⃣ MacSween (2017), an RCT comparing Thai and Swedish techniques in fatigued individuals showed both disciplines improved on VAS scores and Activation-Deactivation Adjective Checklist. Essentially enhanced physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

5️⃣ Cherkin et al (2011), RCT whereby attendance of 8-10 sessions saw a statically significant reduction of 2.9pts in the Roland Disability Questionnaire after 10weeks

🥥 or 🧴?

Which one would you prefer? Let me know down below!

It is paramount not to disregard different options and only utilise one medium - all types have unique benefits, uses, and risks. Most importantly your personal preference matters!

That being said, it is an significant intervention alongside traditional interventions such as CBT.

Some inspirations for this post lie with Dr Mason Turner’s, chief psychiatrist at Kaiser Permanente Hospital, views on massage therapy and Dr Sharon Farber’s, Psychology Today, experiences with adhesive capsulitis following the loss of her mother.

I didn’t want to describe the individual hormones and their effects in the slides - because you frankly could write a book on each of them!

🔹 Dopamine/Serotonin - neurotransmitters critical for healthy bodily function - in particular sleep, memory, metabolism, and mood regulation. Often referred to as ‘Happy Hormones’ their deficiency is linked to depression, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, trouble sleeping, and weight gain

🔹 Oxytocin - the ‘Love Hormone’ plays a role in reproduction, and encourages prosocial behaviour through the building of trust. Mother’s bodies are flooded with oxytocin during childbirth, which links to greater bonding with their children

🔹 Endorphins - your natural painkillers, typically released in response to mental or physical stress. They are responsible for that euphoric feeling and well-being subsequent to a rub down. Healthline suggests massage along with mediation, aromatherapy, indulging in chocolate/wine, or simply bathing in the Great British sunshine as ways to boost levels

🔹 GH - a peptide involved in normal human development, cell reproduction, and regeneration. Now massage doesn’t make GH but it indirectly increases availability by encouraging sleep and reducing cortisol

🔸 Cortisol - main stress hormone, fuelling internal flight-or-flight instincts. Chronically raised levels are associated with anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, trouble sleeping, and weight gain - can we see a pattern here?

🔸 Epinephrine/Norepinephrine - neurotransmitters and hormones released in response to activation of sympathetic nervous system in response to stress. Typically increasing blood pressure, heart rate, and distribution of cardiac output.

Your mental health matters!
