It appeared that massage reduced DOMS and creatine kinase levels. It produced prolonged elevation of circulating neutrophils, leading to the assumption that these had not accumulated in the muscle so the inflammatory response and subsequent soreness were reduced (Smith et al. 1994).

Some of the descending fibres are thought to emanate from areas such as the reticular formation of the brainstem and are triggered by certain pain signals reaching that level within the CNS. Some of the subsequent endogenous opiate release will be at the reticular formation and at higher levels, but also at the spinal cord level. It has been suggested that this will result in the suppression of pain signals entering at these sites (Holey and Cook 1997). It has been put forward that the setting of the pain gate is controlled by higher centres and this can dominate neural activity at the spinal cord level (Melzack and Wall 1988, cited in Carreck 1994).
