Fascia Massage Gun

The fascia massage gun, also known as the deep myofascial impactor, is a soft tissue rehabilitation tool that relaxes the soft tissues of the body through high frequency impact. The fascia massage gun can be understood as a civilian version of DMS (electric deep muscle stimulator). The vibration frequency will change when used, and its basic function is similar to that of DMS. The use of the fascia massage gun must pay attention to the method. At the same time, the first use of the fascia gun needs to be used under the guidance of professionals. It is best to proceed step by step, otherwise it may cause damage.

Mechanism and effect

The massage gun uses its special high-speed motor to drive the "gun head", which generates high-frequency vibrations that act on the deep layers of the muscles to reduce local tissue tension, relieve pain, and promote blood circulation.

Functions and effect

Fasciitis

The fascia gun can help improve the pain symptoms of patients with fasciitis, and the vibration frequency is stable, which can promote muscle and soft tissue recovery. The relevant person in charge of the Rehabilitation Treatment Special Committee of the Chinese Rehabilitation Medicine Association said that through vibration, it can promote the recovery of muscles and surrounding soft tissues or eliminate fatigue, and indirectly affect the repair of tissues. In other words, the fascia gun can help improve the pain symptoms of patients with fasciitis, and the vibration frequency is stable, which can promote muscle and soft tissue recovery.

Exercise relaxation

After exercise, muscle tension, lactic acid accumulation, hypoxia, especially after excessive exercise, the muscles are very stiff and it is difficult to recover on their own. The outer layer of human muscles will be wrapped by a layer of fascia, so that muscle fibers can contract in an orderly direction and achieve a better functional state. After excessive exercise, the muscle fascia can be swelled or squeezed, resulting in soreness and discomfort. The fascia gun solves problems such as muscle tension through external physical methods, similar to the functions of ligament stretching, muscle pulling, and auxiliary manual massage after professional athletes finished training. There is still a difference between using and not using it. With the help of the fascia gun, the recovery time and efficiency after exercise will be improved. Reasonable and correct use of the fascia gun can indeed help relieve muscle soreness after exercise.

During exercise, the use of the fascia gun can be divided into three parts, namely warm-up before exercise, activation during exercise, and recovery after exercise.

Before exercising, use the massage gun to quickly impact the muscle group to be exercised, increase the temperature and blood flow of the muscle group, and help achieve a rapid warm-up effect.

Use the Fascia Gun between sets to reactivate tired muscles and prepare them for the next set.

The vibration of the fascia gun has high and low frequencies, and the higher the frequency, the shallower the effect. If it is a deep muscle, more low frequency is used, and the low frequency impact will be slower and longer. The application of high frequency is more of friction, which generates heat through friction, which is more suitable for relieving muscle stiffness.

Use the fascia gun after exercise. According to the principle of trigger points, it can impact the muscle group after a long time of exercise, so as to help metabolize lactic acid and reduce muscle tension. For example, after doing push-ups, use the fascia gun to hit the pectoralis major and minor muscles for at least two minutes.
