What is a massage gun?
In this post we are going to talk about the vibration gun as a tool for a sports massage. It is an electronic handheld device that serves to apply percussion therapy on our muscles.
This instrument works through the vibration of its head; as a result you can choose the intensity, frequency and torque, depending on the area where you want to apply.
Through small, repetitive, constant and rapid strokes along the musculature, this therapy seeks to obtain a neuromuscular response.
First with the aim of reducing pain, second to increase range of motion and third, to accelerate blood flow.
This treatment produces the increase of blood flow in the muscle, causing a movement of release and relaxation of said musculature.
Benefits of vibration therapy:
Vibration gun sessions use a combination of frequency and range of motion that acts directly on the brain causing inhibition of muscle pain signals.
By consequence with inhibition and increased blood flow numerous benefits are obtained for the patient.
However, it also produces the following benefits:
• Reduces muscle pain.
• Improves range of motion and mobility
• Increases blood flow, activating circulation and increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles.
• It helps to eliminate and reduce lactic acid, so that the muscle will recover much better after sports practice.
• Eliminates trigger points.
• Increases lymphatic drainage, with the aim of mobilizing waste substances produced by the body.
• Promotes muscle recovery.
• Acts on scar tissue.
In conclusion, vibration therapy is mainly indicated to treat muscle overloads and contractures, and to improve sports performance, but it is also used for other pathologies such as plantar fasciitis or tendon injuries, where we will be able to reduce the tension of the affected structures.
