Massage Gun

1.The role of the fascia gun

Fascia is a mesh system in our body, wrapped around muscles and other tissues, our common lean pork and beef always have a white film, which is actually fascia, the wrong way to exercise and repeated strength training will lead to fascia adhesions, fascia adhesions or injury will have many adverse reactions, of which muscle tightness is the most common, which will prevent muscle recovery growth. Ordinary stretching and massage is not a good solution to this problem, and the fascial gun can be used to resolve these adhesions by applying continuous pressure.

The fascia gun is a high vibration frequency deep massage to relieve tense muscles, many people on the Internet also said that the same effect can be achieved with the foam shaft. Yes, this is the case, in terms of my experience of using the fascia gun for two or three years, the use of fascia gun and foam shaft to relax the muscles in fact, the effect is similar, but the foam shaft to the kind with teeth, foam shaft with more trouble, some parts can not be used, fascia gun can be used more to the parts, such as pectoral muscles, biceps triceps (foam shaft is not convenient to use), efficiency will also be higher, which is why I I believe there are many people who do not want to stretch and massage after training to relax, are trained to slip, but there is a fascia gun is different, even if I go home, I can also look at the phone computer while using the fascia gun, and will not be as boring as their own initiative to massage and stretch, more is to enjoy the soreness.

2.The massage gun can be used for two main purposes

(1) Using the fascia gun before training can warm up the relevant muscle groups, according to the relevant experimental thermal imaging shows that after using the fascia gun vibration can significantly increase the temperature of the target muscle groups, the muscle can quickly enter the training state.

(2) After training, due to sympathetic over-excitation, the muscles are still under tension at rest, producing fascial adhesions, we must first release these extra excitements through fascial relaxation, together with some stretching and stretching to make the muscle form more beautiful.

3. How to choose the massage fascia gun

(1) Stretching range

The longer the stretching range, the more the strength of the gun can penetrate into the deeper layers of the muscles, which can make the relaxation process more thorough, and the general stretching range of the myofascial gun is more than one centimeter.

(2) Vibration frequency

The higher the frequency, the faster the striking speed and the stronger the striking force. However, it is not necessary to choose a large, different people can accept different strength, there is no need to spend more money, buy a suitable for their strength on the line. The upper limit can reach 3200r/min has been very good.

(3) Noise

When I think of the first fascia gun I bought, the noise is really like a drill in your body. The noise of the fascia gun is dependent on the quality of the motor, when we buy the fascia gun must pay attention to its maximum gear noise decibel is how much. I also want to say one more thing, fascia gun speed are divided into several gears, some brands fascia gun because there is no advantage, will be divided into many fascia gun gears to take advantage of the publicity, I saw some fascia gun divided into twenty to thirty intensity gears, really is idle light pain, generally 3-6 gears on the right.

(4) battery life

In the early days of the fascia gun, there is a wired connection to power, and some low-cost miscellaneous brand of power almost once with a charge, very troublesome, so it is important to choose a long battery life of the fascia gun.
