Fascia gun, as a soft tissue rehabilitation tool, its effectiveness depends on the operator's skill, just like a kitchen knife cutting tofu into hair in a master's hand, it can't play its greatest value in a layman's hand. Dr Clark, chairman of NASM Sports Medicine Association, said: If users can really learn to use Hypervolt fascia gun to care for their bodies, they can greatly improve their quality of life and work efficiency. ?
The main means of sports rehabilitation include manual therapy, physical therapy, functional training and functional traction. Fascia gun is a kind of physical therapy, which makes human tissues move relatively through vibration, reduces tissue adhesion, restores the elasticity and ductility of muscles and fascia, thus improving body fluid circulation and activating the self-repair potential of the body. Therapists apply continuous pressure and vibration with the help of fascia gun by sensing the tense, restricted and adhesive areas on various planes of users that may lead to functional pain or disorder, so as to solve the tissue resistance obstacle. Of course, users can also release fascia by themselves through fascia gun or other equipment (foam shaft/massage ball).
Many posture problems, exercise pattern problems, dysfunction and pain and swelling in daily life are caused by muscle imbalance. Hypervolt helps to improve physical properties (muscle tension, viscosity, ductility, etc. ) and physiological characteristics (excitability, contractility, work efficiency, etc. ) muscles, thereby promoting venous return, absorption of inflammatory substances and control of persistent factors of pain, the experiencer will feel relieved.
However, due to the scale of the experiment and inevitable errors, further research is needed to provide more sufficient evidence. The human body is an extremely complex system, and the specific mechanism of vibration therapy to alleviate DOMS needs medical explanation. Some popular hypotheses in academic circles believe that vibration therapy can stimulate mechanical receptors to affect the nervous system, so as to achieve the effect of relaxing soft tissues, or affect the viscosity of tissues through piezoelectric and thixotropic phenomena, so that we can feel the changes of soft and hard tissues (sense of relaxation). In a word, vibration physiotherapy has a certain clinical rehabilitation effect, but many mechanisms need to be proved.
Recently, a fascia gun was used in the hard core experiment of the State Sports General Administration. The results of many experiments show that the fascia gun only has a certain relaxation effect, and high-frequency vibration beating is not conducive to weight loss and shaping. In addition, it can not be easily used for neck massage, and may even cause irreversible consequences when the technology deviates.
Fascia guns on the market can relax at most, but will not lose weight. It has no therapeutic function and is not omnipotent. Improper use of fascia gun can not only relieve pain, but also stimulate blood vessels, leading to muscle spasm. Fascia gun does not belong to medical devices, but promotes preventive and therapeutic functions. It is false propaganda and exaggerated propaganda, and it is suspected of violating the relevant provisions of the Advertising Law and the Drug Administration Law.
