These negative effects are the results of exercise, but with a sports massage it will
effectively counteract these conditions. It normally takes a muscle that has been stressed
to a point of fatigue forty-eight to seventy-two hours to rest, adapt, and recuperate. Athletic
massage can reduce the recuperation time by as much as 50 percent.
