Summary

This study tests six different recovery techniques—like massage, shockwave therapy, and pressure therapy—on 20 professional athletes after intense exercise. The goal is to see which method best reduces muscle pain, restores strength, and improves blood flow. Participants will try each technique over six weeks, and researchers will measure results immediately after treatment.
