Training for a marathon can be tough on the body, especially when it comes to post-workout recovery. Getting a massage after marathon training provides a multitude of benefits, from improving blood flow to the muscles to overall stress relief. Serving residents throughout Honolulu, HI, Sensei Fumihikio Indei of Aisen Chiryo Doin is the premier shiatsu massage therapist specializing in massage therapy, natural remedies, and sports rehabilitation. He has over 30 years of experience treating Honolulu marathon runners.

Here, the skilled shiatsu therapist shares a few of the amazing benefits of massage therapy after marathon training:

  • marathon trainingImproves Recovery: After marathon training, a runner will experience muscle soreness and pain due to the lactic acid that is released into the tissue. Massage therapy boosts recovery by removing the toxins and increasing circulation so the runner can get back to exercising sooner without as much of a risk of injury.
  • Repairs Muscle: Vigorous training creates tiny tears in muscle fibers, causing inflammation in the muscle tissue. Apart from easing the muscle tension, massage therapy stimulates the mitochondria to repair the muscle and enhance cell recovery, which reduces the risk of serious injuries.
  • Relaxation: Marathon training can take a toll on the mind and body. Massage relaxes the runner so they can rejuvenate before the next training session or marathon.
