Actually, massage works in a different way - there are two pathways for pain - acute and chronic. There's a feedback loop in chronic pain that is interrupted by the neurons that fire during acute pain. There's a possibility that when you generate the acute pain (massage) that is stronger than the lingering chronic pain, you can interrupt the firing loop of the chronic pain neurons.
I can search for the video describing this by Robert Sapolsky.
