Does massage therapy enhance vascular recovery post-exercise?

In 2014, a study conducted at a clinical research center, researchers have found that massage therapy (MT) can significantly improve peripheral vascular function following exercise-induced muscle injury. The study, led by Nina C. Franklin and her colleagues, explored the impact of MT on vascular endothelial function in the upper extremities, particularly after intense lower-body exertion. The study involved 36 sedentary young adults who were randomly … Continue reading Does massage therapy enhance vascular recovery post-exercise?

Is yoga an effective complementary therapy for migraine-related vascular health?

Migraine, a debilitating neurovascular disorder, is often associated with vascular complications such as ischemic stroke. Strategies to improve endothelial function can play a crucial role in managing and preventing these complications. Yoga, known for its positive impact on the cardiovascular system, has been considered as a potential intervention. However, until now, no randomized controlled studies have explored the effects of yoga on the endothelial function … Continue reading Is yoga an effective complementary therapy for migraine-related vascular health?
