The fascia gun, also known as the deep myofascial impact device, is a soft tissue rehabilitation tool, the working principle can be understood as the use of high-frequency impact relaxation of the body's soft tissue, stimulate its proprioceptive function, and then play an effective role in relieving muscle tension, to achieve the purpose of pain!
So, first of all, it should be clear that the fascia gun is a physiotherapy equipment rather than a medical device, it is not a professional treatment instrument.
1, fascia and the role of the fascia gun.
Fascia is a white membrane-like tissue that wraps around the muscles of the human body, and its main role is to maintain the shape of the muscles and reduce friction with each other, fascia is connected to the whole body. After excessive exercise, the human body produces a large amount of lactic acid, resulting in a feeling of soreness in the body. And the fascia gun is through the external physical way of proper vibration to make the fascia relaxation, so that the muscle tension problem is solved, on the former ligament stretching, auxiliary massage and other ways to have a certain alternative role.
So the fascia gun can accelerate the recovery and the efficiency of exercise and reduce the feeling of exercise soreness.
2. Fascia gun frequency
The fascia gun works by vibration to massage the fascia, but the different frequency will produce different effects. Among them, the high frequency is mostly used to generate heat through friction, thus relieving muscle man stiffness, while the low frequency, on the other hand, massages the deeper layers of the muscles and relaxes the deeper tissues of the muscles.
3. Can a fascia gun lose weight?
From the above question, it can be seen that the fascia gun is a tool to relax the muscles through vibration, so the fascia gun does not have the role of weight loss and plasticity, it can be said that the real network rumors and marketing gimmicks!
4, the use of fascia gun with caution
The main role of the fascia gun is to relax the muscles, remember not to put it on the less muscular places, especially some of the nerves and fragile bones of the place are the location of caution.
For example: the outside of the knee joint, there is a bulge at the upper end of the calf, called the fibular head, which is surrounded by the peroneal nerve, very superficial. Once the use of fascia gun is very easy on the hand
And then: cervical vertebrae and spine, are to be careful to use, once the mistake, but not worth it .
