Hello Fitness friends,
We've seen them on TV, magazines and probably in your chiropractic, physical therapist or at your local gym.This small yet powerful tool can help you relieve tight and sore muscles. Why are these tools cool and helpful?! Well, if your not near your chiropractor or massage therapist and you need "!RELIEF NOW!" These machines can provide short term reduction in pain/discomfort. Whether it's work related ( possible work comp issue ) as a result of sitting at a desk or standing. A fitness enthusiast and/or athlete recovering form a workout or a game.
Percussion massagers are beneficial in filling the void before you see a health professional.
How it Works
Percussion massagers are battery power massage tools that provide rapid vibrations to improve:
- muscle flexibility
- decrease pain
- decrease stiffness
- increase blood flow
This is accomplished by "having a focused and concentrated vibration" in a specific area to reduce aliments. There are @ least 4 - 6 settings depending upon the model you purchased. From a low setting to a very high setting of vibrations.
Applying the tool on an area for 2-3 minutes can have long lasting effects.
Contraindications
Don't use on the percussion massager on:
- open wounds
- scabs
- bone
- near sensitive area like genitalia , eyes, head or chest.
This machine doesn't replace a chiropractor but helps to be a intermediary until you seek the help of a licensed and skilled practitioner.
Hope this helps. Contact me if you have additional ?.
