This therapy manages to reduce the sensation of pain after training and muscle load, in addition, it also helps improve circulation.
Muscle recovery is, without a doubt, a fundamental part of the sports routine. It is already known that before training we must prepare the body with a good warm-up and also that at the end we must do stretching and elongation work. But did you know that alone is not enough? And it is that, in addition to stretching, it is important to take care of the muscles with much more specific non-invasive treatments, which will help avoid injuries, and discomfort and, above all, speed up recovery time and leave them ready for work the next day.
With percussion therapy, thanks to the vibration, bursts of pressure are produced in the muscular area, reducing the sensation of post-training pain. In addition, it increases blood flow, which helps improve circulation and reduce muscle load if you have it.
The Metropolitan Chain has indicated the benefits of this type of therapy:
– Prevention of load injuries: For both professional athletes and regular gym users, incorporating the muscle care routine with percussion guns will allow them to prevent injuries in the short, medium, and long term due to the strain that occurs in the muscles.
– Improves circulation: the percussion movement applied to muscle groups improves blood circulation, which is especially important for sedentary people or if their work routine causes them to sit or stand for long periods of time.
– Improves joint range for training: the Hyperice gun acts on all the components of muscle tissue, that is, tendons, ligaments, and joints, all of which are involved in flexibility and muscle movement. Influencing them before and after training will allow a greater fluidity of our body and consequently, increase the range of movement.
This therapy manages to reduce the sensation of post-training pain and muscle load, in addition, it also helps improve circulation.
– Relieves tired legs: after a long day at work or an intense training session, our legs feel heavy, tired, and even sore. Therefore, a massage along the muscles will reduce the feeling of heaviness and any ailment or discomfort that may arise.
– Treatment of trigger points: a trigger point consists of a palpable nodule, which when pressure is exerted on it produces severe pain. This discomfort produces a restriction of movement. The percussion movement exerted by the gun allows these symptoms to be relieved and even insistently undoes the nodules, putting an end to trigger points.
– Relieves the feeling of fatigue and stiffness: the quintessential symptom of an intense training day is soreness. However, these become a problem when they make day-to-day tasks difficult for us. For this reason, the gun acts on the muscles in a concise way and thus be able to advance to the soreness of the day after, and even treat them during the course of the day if they finally appear, and thus be able to cope with them better.
– Increases the drainage of legs and arms: as long as there is no previous pathology, the percussion of the gun increases lymphatic drainage by mobilizing the substances produced by the body.
– Relieves cervical and shoulder load: the application of the gun on these areas is very beneficial to undo the nodules produced by the tension of the neck and shoulders, especially in people who work in front of the computer every day.
