Massage therapy interacts with several mechanisms described in the gate control theory.

First, massage stimulates large, fast-conducting A-beta afferents that respond to touch and pressure signals. These signals compete with the smaller, slower afferents (A-delta and C fibers) at the first synaptic gate in the spinal cord.

Of course, this would depend on the type of massage and the receipient's expectations and experience with massage.

When non-painful stimuli dominate, they “close the gate,” reducing the amount of nociceptive input that is passed to the brain. (This goes back to why rubbing or touching an injured area can dull the pain.)

Beyond the spinal cord, massage influences descending pathways from the brain that regulate pain. Pleasant touch and relaxation activate the periaqueductal gray, nucleus raphe magnus, and other brainstem regions are involved in descending inhibition. These areas release serotonin, noradrenaline, and endogenous opioids, which suppress nociceptive transmission.

As of 2025, there aren't much high- or good-quality studies or reviews that critically examine the effects of Swedish massage for pain relief.

Current evidence suggests (and should be taken with a grain of salt):

🦵May temporarily reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, limited joint range of motion, and inflammatory markers (Khojakulova et al. 2025)

💆🏻‍♀️May improve nasal breathing and cleanliness in children, reduce low back pain for nurses, and improve adrenocortical function in infants—based on 11 trials. (Barreto, Batista 2017)

🙎🏻 A series of massage treatments has been shown to consistently reduce depression symptoms in adults and children (Moyer 2009).

Moyer warned the claim that massage can reduce stress hormones has not been scientific established yet. He wrote that claims may come from a common mistake in research: Focusing on changes within one group instead of comparing different groups, which is what the study designs call for.

“...at present, the effect of [massage] on stress hormones is not a scientific fact on which theories can be built,” Moyer wrote.

🔈 SURFACE ANATOMY OF FOOT

The tendons in the ankle region can be identified satisfactorily only when their muscles are acting. If the foot is actively inverted, the tendon of the tibialis posterior may be palpated as it passes posterior and distal to the medial malleolus, then superior to the sustentaculum tali, to reach its attachment to the tuberosity of the navicular. Hence, the tibialis posterior tendon is the guide to the navicular. The tendon of the tibialis posterior also indicates the site for palpating the posterior tibial pulse (halfway between the medial malleolus and the calcaneal tendon.

The tendons of the fibularis longus and brevis may be followed distally, posterior and inferior to the lateral malleolus, and then anteriorly along the lateral aspect of the foot. The fibularis longus tendon can be palpated as far as the cuboid, and then, it disappears as it turns into the sole. The fibularis brevis tendon can easily be traced to its attachment to the dorsal surface of the tuberosity on the base of the 5th metatarsal. This tuberosity is located at the middle of the lateral border of the foot. With toes actively extended, the small fleshy belly of the extensor digitorum brevis may be seen and palpated anterior to the lateral malleolus. Its position should be observed and palpated so that it may not be mistaken subsequently for an abnormal edema (swelling).

The tendons on the anterior aspect of the ankle (from medial to lateral side) are easily palpated when the foot is dorsiflexed:

• The large tendon of the tibialis anterior leaves the cover of the superior extensor tendon, from which level the tendon is invested by a continuous synovial sheath; the tendon may be traced to its attachment to the 1st cuneiform and the base of the 1st metatarsal.
• The tendon of the extensor hallucis longus , obvious when the great toe is extended against resistance, may be followed to its attachment to the base of the distal phalanx of the great toe.
• The tendons of the extensor digitorum longus may be followed easily to their attachments to the lateral four toes.
• The tendon of the fibularis tertius may also be traced to its attachment to the base of the 5th metatarsal. This muscle is of minor importance and may be absent.

In light of the ongoing epidemic with the coronavirus now in Metro Manila,
A reminder to Clients:

PLEASE, If you are feeling unwell, re-schedule your massage!
When your body is already fighting off a virus due to cold or flu, a massage can actually make things worse.
Please advice your Massage Therapist and re-schedule your appointment if you are unwell!
Please respect people’s and care workers right to keep themselves and families safe and healthy. A massage will not cure your illness, it will not make you feel better and it selfishly puts others at risk. Take the proper precautions and wash your hands regularly.

Kind regards and blessings to everyone,

♡Celyne's Home Service Massage♡
