In the 2017 NBA Finals, guard Kyrie Irving used the fascia massage gun to relax the back and thigh muscles with the help of a physical therapist and quickly returned to the court. Nowadays, you can use the massage gun if you sit for a long time in the office, have a sore back, lower your head and play with your mobile phone, and have shoulder and neck discomforts, running, climbing, and dancing square dancing. This kind of equipment, which was previously only used on professional athletes and then entered the field of mass fitness, is sold at different prices on major online shopping platforms. Word of mouth is also polarized, so does the fascial gun massager really work?
The doctor thinks it can really play a supporting role.
Fascia is a dense connective tissue that surrounds muscles, blood vessels and nerves. It connects the muscles and soft tissues and plays an intermediary role. The muscles contract under the framework of the fascia. Fascia can generally be divided into three categories: the superficial fascia located in the subcutaneous tissue, the deep fascia that surrounds the surface of the muscle (the fascia gun is mainly aimed at it), and the visceral fascia.
The portable massage gun acts on the myofascial membrane covering the surface of the muscle. Under the dual action of physical stimulation and muscle heating, the elastic ductility of the myofascial membrane will increase. Power massager gun uses this principle to relax body muscles. Fascia is a kind of sponge tissue. Its own particularity determines that it needs to be relaxed by sponge shaft or fascia gun. Stretching alone is not good. Therefore, the deep tissue massage machine is still very practical for some fitness enthusiasts.
Precautions for using fascia massage gun
1. The parts with full muscles are relatively safe and can be used, such as the front and back of the thigh, the back of the calf, the buttocks muscles, etc., and hit along the body's muscle texture and fascia.
2. To select the appropriate vibration frequency. Pay attention to the length of use, it is also very important
3. Pay attention to the following matters when using body massager gun: Do not use it when sports causes tissue damage (such as strains, sprains, contusions, etc.) to avoid further damage. People who lack exercise for a long time should not use it, because the muscles of those who do not exercise are relaxed, and what they need is not more relaxation, but exercise!
How to choose a fascia massage gun
Electric massage gun is divided into brush motor and brushless motor. Among them, the brushless motor can be said to be a sublimation version of the brush motor. It has many advantages, such as low noise, high stability, high safety, not easy to generate heat, and long life. When buying a muscle massage gun now, you basically don’t need to consider using a professional massage gun with a brush motor. Although it is cheaper than a brushless motor, the experience, safety, and time of use are not guaranteed.
