Rabbit Enjoys Massage?






What a cute drawing, a rabbit enjoying a massage. 



The drawing is not really meant for cuteness.  

Wall Street Journal on June 11, 2013 reports a study done at Ohio State University that scientists used mechanical devices to exercise the tibialis anterior muscles of 18 rabbits under anesthetic.  

One group of rabbits received immediate treatment with a mechanical device that simulates the long flowing strokes used in Swedish massage.  Another group received the treatment starting 48 hours after the muscle injury.   A control group was not massaged.  The massaged rabbits received 15-minute treatments daily.

After four days, muscles that received immediate massage had recovered almost 60% of their lost strength compared with 30% for delayed massaged muscles.  

This suggests immediate massage triggered greater fluid dissipation which would help to reduce swelling.
