The massage gun uses its special high-speed motor to drive the "gun head", which generates high-frequency vibrations that act on the deep layers of the muscles to reduce local tissue tension, relieve pain, and promote blood circulation. The main roles it pays are as below:
Fasciitis
The massage gun can help to improve the pain symptoms of patients with fasciitis, and the vibration frequency is stable, which can promote muscle and soft tissue recovery. The relevant person in charge of the Rehabilitation Treatment Special Committee of the Chinese Rehabilitation Medicine Association said that through vibration, it can promote the recovery of muscles and surrounding soft tissues or eliminate fatigue, and indirectly affect the repair of tissues. That is to say, the fascia gun can help improve the pain symptoms of patients with fasciitis, and the vibration frequency is stable, which can promote muscle and soft tissue recovery.
Exercise relaxation
After exercise, muscle tension, lactic acid accumulation, hypoxia, especially after excessive exercise, the muscles are very stiff and it is difficult to recover on their own. The outer layer of the human muscle will be wrapped by a layer of fascia, so that the muscle fibers can contract in an orderly direction and achieve a better functional state. After excessive exercise, the muscle fascia can be swelled or squeezed, resulting in soreness and discomfort. The fascia gun solves problems such as muscle tension through external physical methods, similar to the functions of ligament stretching, muscle pulling, and auxiliary manual massage after professional athletes finished training. There is still a difference between using and not using it. With the help of the fascia gun, the recovery time and efficiency after exercise will be improved. Reasonable and correct use of the fascia gun can indeed help relieve muscle soreness after exercise.
In exercise, the use of fascia gun can be divided into three parts, namely warm-up before exercise, activation during exercise, and recovery after exercise.
Before exercising, use the fascia gun to quickly impact the muscle group to be exercised, increase the temperature and blood flow of the muscle group, and help achieve a rapid warm-up effect.
Use the Fascia Gun between sets to reactivate tired muscles and prepare them for the next set.
The vibration of the fascia gun has high and low frequencies, and the higher the frequency, the shallower the effect. If it is a deep muscle, use more low frequency, low frequency impact.
Use the fascia gun after exercise. According to the principle of trigger points, it will impact the muscle group after a long time of exercise, so as to help metabolize lactic acid and reduce muscle tension. For example, after doing push-ups, use the fascia gun to hit the pectoralis major and minor muscles for at least two minutes.
