The effect of compressed air massage on untraumatised rabbit skeletal muscle - a morphometric and ultrastructural study
One of the therapeutic uses of massage is to facilitate repair of damaged tissue. A potential hazard of massage is that direct pressure on muscle is known to damage skeletal myofibres. This study examines the effect of a new form of massage using compressed air on the morphology of untraumatised rab...
