FasciaGun, the full name of muscle fascia relaxation massage gun (English name Fasciagun), is used for high-frequency percussion treatment of fascia relaxation.
After fitness or exercise, the sympathetic nerve is excessively excited, which leads to muscle tension at rest and fascia adhesion, thus affecting the recovery of growth.
When the fascia is stuck or injured, the body often has many uncomfortable reactions: the muscles become stiff, stiff and tight, and the local skin temperature is low and humid; Muscle tissue is slack, inelastic, or elasticity drops and sags; There are irregular blocks or cord-like hard tissues under the skin, deep muscle and between bone seams.
This is a way for the body to protect muscles, and it is also a protective mechanism that hinders muscle recovery. Especially some deep muscles, it is difficult to be touched by foam shaft or vibration foam shaft.
Therefore, it is necessary to release these extra excitability through fascia relaxation, so as to solve and alleviate the above problems. Cooperate with dynamic stretching before training and static stretching after training to make muscles and joints more beautiful and safe. Compared with our daily use of foam shaft relaxation, fascia gun relaxes muscles and fascia more deeply and accurately.
Second, the role and function of fascia gun
1, relax the fascia regeneration movement.
In view of the changes and injuries of fascia, it can be repaired by self-massage to restore its vitality. Massage is a purely physical mechanism, which can promote fluid exchange in fascia and help metabolism, thus improving the nutritional supply of fascia and related organs.
We commonly use foam shaft rolling and fascia ball massage, which uses this principle to achieve the purpose of repairing fascia. They are called regenerative exercises.
Fascia gun actually plays the same role, but it uses the mechanical principle of vibration to transmit vibration to the deep muscles of fascia, so as to relax fascia and reduce muscle tension. The so-called muscle tension is the degree of muscle tension when we are inactive. Good muscles should be strong, elastic, contractive and relaxed. Moreover, some people have high muscle tension, muscle relaxation is also hard, and the risk of injury is greater.
Therefore, the fascia gun is very suitable for people who often exercise or exercise. Fascia gun can stimulate fascia viscosity to weaken, so that fascia will not cling to muscle and affect muscle activity, thus reducing muscle stiffness and soreness and increasing blood circulation and range of motion.
2. Relieve shoulder, neck and back pain
In addition, many people face computers for a long time and lack physical exercise. Fascia gun has a good effect on expanding intervertebral space, scapulohumeral periarthritis, lumbar muscle strain, foot massage and increasing blood flow rate. It can also be used to prevent back pain. On the one hand, it can strengthen the deep muscles of the back, on the other hand, it can eliminate the painful tension of the muscles on the back and neck surface.
