What are the effects of the massage gun? So many people asked us for this question, today, we are going to take a closer look at effects and the benefit of the massage gun. Let’s see the movement principles firstly.

How the massage gun works?

Massage guns offer what's known as percussive or vibration therapy. This type of massage provides rapid bursts of pressure into the body's muscle tissue (hence the rippling effect of massage guns) as its head oscillates back and forth. Masseurs and masseuses have traditionally used a series of light strikes from the hands or wrists to the given muscle group to get this effect. However, massage guns let athletes get the same benefits, but in the comfort of their own homes (and without needing to pay routinely for luxury spa services). And unlike our facial massaging tools, such as foam rollers, that can yield similar results, massage guns can hyper-target a specific problem area. For those who find foam rollers uncomfortable or too manual of a process, massage guns offer a more streamlined, automatic solution. 

Percussive therapy doesn't completely eliminate muscle soreness. But what it does do is increase blood flow to a specific muscle area, which can help reduce inflammation and muscle tension and break up those pesky knots that seem to linger after a hard workout. Massage guns are also used prior to intense workouts to help warm up muscles ahead of the activity. Learn more in this article

I guess you have a clear idea of how does the massage gun work, let’s put this simply it is a powerful electronic massage setup you can take it everywhere. I sorted some materials you want to know about the effects, and hope this is can help the friends who want to purchase one no matter for in-home relaxation use but for the professional recovery therapy.

 What are the effects of the massage gun?

Benefits

• Relief pain

Vibrational healing is a method of healing focused on vibrations and subtle energies without any dependency on other healing systems. It is focused on the specific energy field of each individual and is known to be efficient. Interestingly, utilizing the “percussive treatment” method, a relaxation gun offers that same advantage, because it sends sensations deep through the tissue.

The massage movements help increase the flow of blood and lymph throughout the body, thereby helping to generate more oxygen and nutrients in the muscles. This results in quick regeneration, increased motion capacity, pain reduction, and muscle weakness and soreness reduction. 

• Prevent injury

Percussive massage provided by a massage gun helps to improve muscle contraction, which results in muscles and facial tissues being lengthened and strengthened. A great way to relieve stress is to make massage therapy part of your lifestyle and post-workout routine.

A massage’s primary objective is to help calm the muscles and alleviate stress in the body, which will further reduce the muscle healing period during exercises since harmful material is continuously removed and enable the muscles and bounce back during the shortest possible time.

• Release of lactic acid

Lactic acid occurs when the body’s oxygen levels are small, and the body continues to make up for it by turning freshly produced lactate into energy. Sometimes that occurs during vigorous activity and the lactic acid continues to build up quicker in the body than it will cookout. This can lead you to feel tired, nauseous, and have muscle cramp feelings.

A massage device can reverse this because it can remove lactic acid and other contaminants from the muscles into tissues around. It should tend to reduce the likelihood of muscle soreness that frequently accompanies sustained exertion due to the deposition of lactic acid.

• Improve blood flow

Massage guns include stimulation of the deep tissue, which enhances blood flow rate and activates the nerve receptors responsible for dilating blood vessels. Muscle contractions regulate the lymph acts to eliminate waste and contaminants from the body tissues and the discharge; this ensures that less active individuals do not induce enough lymph drainage whereas more active individuals can produce so many.

Disadvantages (if any)

First, good massage guns tend to cost hundreds of dollars, so there is a definite cost component you need to take into consideration, and there is always the possibility of accidental injury with over using massage gun each time. As massage guns are also a relatively new product, there is also more data that needs to come in before we can make a concrete statement on whether they can work for everyone. While  myself and others have benefited from using massage guns, there’s always the chance that they’re not worth the money for you or do not offer any noticeable benefits

The Tips of Using Massage Gun

1. 1. Although it’s simple to use the massage gun, we should carefully reads the guidebook or video tutorial before using.

2.  2.  Aim and shoot-Before you start, always remember tostart with a low intensity moving to a higher intensity. The high-intensity right of the bat can lead to more muscle strain. When readily find the stiffness or painful area of the muscle, don't start in the main area but start a few inches away. Then slowly move to the most severe area.

3. 3. Do not put pressure into the massage gun but just let it glide through the skin. Repeat this several times, then, slowly adjust adding small pressure at a time.

4. 4. Once you feel that the muscle already adjusted to the intensity you can let it rest there for a while. Then you can move to the area following the same steps.
