Set a new benchmark for deep massage

The birth of the fascia gun

Fascia gun is a physiotherapy instrument that uses impact and resonance to loosen soft tissues. In popular terms, it is a vibrating massager that dredges the meridians and relaxes muscles.

Fascia (myofascia) is the connective tissue that wraps all parts of the body. It covers the body wall, inserts into muscles, attaches to bones, and surrounds blood vessels. It is a three-dimensional network matrix that wraps, surrounds, protects and supports the structure of the human body. Fascia itself has varying degrees of elasticity, can contract and relax, so it can respond to load, compression and stress. It has a supporting and restraining effect on the organization, can change the traction direction of muscle strength, regulate the operation of muscle strength, and has postural and motor functions. Many different symptoms of soreness and health problems can be alleviated through conditioning and treatment of related fascia.

Muscles and fascia "weave" the whole body interconnection network

The fascia gun consists of a high-speed motor and a "torch head" driven by the motor. The fascia gun is developed from the Deep Muscle Stimulator (DMS). Studies have found that the resonance frequency of the muscle fascia is about 36-40 Hz (Hz). DMS mainly resonates with the fascia and quickly (about 15 -45 seconds) Release the tension of the muscle fascia.

The nervous system does not like being shaken, not everyone can use the fascia gun

People who work at desks for a long time, use computers for a long time, and sit still are high-risk groups of cervical spine diseases. Such people may have dizziness, neck stiffness, neck and shoulder pain, numbness and other symptoms. Miao Xin suggested that such people should first be diagnosed by professional doctors and rehabilitation therapists. If cervical spondylosis is caused by muscle stiffness, the use of a fascia gun may achieve a certain pain relief effect, but many cervical spondylosis is not only caused by muscle stiffness, but also for other reasons. At this time, the fascia gun should not be used indiscriminately.

Dr. Clark, Chairman of the NASM Society of Sports Medicine, said: "If users can really learn to use the Hypervolt fascia gun to take care of their bodies, they can greatly improve their quality of life and work efficiency."

The main methods of sports rehabilitation include manual therapy, physical therapy, functional training, and functional stretching. Fascia gun is a type of physiotherapy. It uses resonance to produce relative displacement of human tissues, reduces tissue adhesion, restores the elasticity and flexibility of muscles and fascia, thereby improving body fluid circulation and activating the body's self-repair potential. The therapist perceives the tension, restriction, and adhesion areas on various planes of the user that may cause functional pain or obstacles, and uses the fascia gun to apply continuous pressure and vibration to solve the tissue resistance obstacles. Of course, the user can also use a fascia gun or other equipment (foam roller/massage ball) to perform the fascia release by themselves.

Fascia gun cannot replace active exercise

Sitting while working, sitting while eating, and sitting while reading the phone while resting... Nowadays, almost everyone in the workplace is "sedentary". The intense work rhythm and frequent overtime make the "sedentary" army grow.

You should do three to five times a week with a certain intensity of exercise; sit for half an hour to 45 minutes to get up and move for a few minutes. You can do some gentle stretching exercises, such as rotating the neck, changing the sitting posture regularly, and actively stretching to relax the chest. Muscles of the back and neck. "Apparatuses such as fascia guns cannot replace people's active exercise. The most effective way to reduce pain is to change your lifestyle and get active.
