One really cool thing about massage is that it helps to wake up dormant muscles. When I was 18 I was in a serious car accident that resulted in third degree burns on 2/3 of my left leg. Muscles had atrophied, from underuse for months being bed ridden. Especially my calf. It used to feel like jelly, no tone and saggy even though I was doing exercises that should”work” it there as no feeling. But once I started paying attention to it with touch, my calf started waking up. It brought blood flow as well as well as other benefits but the important part was the attention.. I think.
