![]() We then conceptually consider the motor control strategies induced by each type of massage. In the present review, we first provide a deep quantitative literature analysis to gather the beneficial effects of each technique through an integrative account, as well as their psychometric and neurophysiological evaluations. These two topics have been largely studied in isolation from each other. Manual massage is an ancient practice requiring the intervention of an experienced physiotherapist, while foam rolling is a more recent self-administered technique. Manual massage and foam rolling are commonly used by athletes for warm-up and recovery, as well as by healthy individuals for well-being. 1Univ Lyon, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, Laboratoire Interuniversitaire de Biologie de la Motricité EA 7424, Villeurbanne Cedex, France.Yann Kerautret 1,2, Franck Di Rienzo 1, Carole Eyssautier 2 and Aymeric Guillot 1*
