Massage therapy restores peripheral vascular function after exertion. METHODS: The purpose of this study was to determine if lower extremity exercise-induced muscle injury reduces vascular function of the upper extremity and if massage therapy improves peripheral vascular function after exertion-induced muscle injury. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was determined by ultrasound at each time point.…
