Back to TopCauses. Chediak-Higashi syndrome is passed down through families (inherited). It is an autosomal recessive disease. This means that both parents are carriers of a non-working copy of the gene, and each parent must pass their non-working gene to the child for them to show symptoms of the disease. Defects have been found in the CHS1 (also called LYST ) gene.
The post-event massage is typically given anywhere from 30 minutes up to 24 hours after competition or activity. When working with runners after a marathon, I will focus on post-event techniques even up to 48 hours after their race, because of the damage they are doing to their muscles.
Studies that give massage 2-3 hours after DOMS inducing exercise showed reduced soreness, but not weakness. One study that gave massage 2 days after exercise that resulted in reduced soreness and improved muscle function, but other studies that use massage 24 hours or more after exercise showed no benefit.
