A short transcript excerpt from Aaron Hartman, MD discussing biological plausibility for massage and related bodywork (fascial release, trigger point release, dry needling, acupuncture, cupping) as anti-inflammatory interventions, and noting the involvement of spinal cord and fascial loops that can be harmful when activated.

Well, now we have a biological plausibility. How massage is anti inflammatory, which is interesting. Basic fascia work, different body works, whether it's fascial release, trigger point release, dry needling, acupuncture, cupping, a whole host of other things can be useful to help decrease this whole organ. Spinal cord, fascial loop that unfortunately when it kicks in can be really, really deleters.
