Benefits of Theragun Treatment Therapy

The Theragun is a professional-grade percussive therapy device that provides a deep tissue massage using a scientifically-calibrated combination of speed and depth to treat your muscles comfortably by overriding the pain signals sent to the brain. It releases tension, knots, relieves muscle tightness and soreness from a full body, 15 minute self-massage. It can also assist stretching as part of your daily routine and eliminate inflammation for a faster recovery. The 4th generation of percussive devices from Therabody sports their proprietary brushless motor, making it the quietest device on the market. With the Theragun Pro boasting a rotating arm and dual batteries, the Pro is a professional grade device used by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul George, and Max Verstappen, to name a few. It has a stall force of 27kg. The Elite is the premium at-home option with a stall force of 18kg, while the Theragun Prime is the simplified option with a 13kg stall force.

Percussive therapy utilizes a unique combination of speed, depth, and force to enhance blood flow and alleviate deep muscle tension. Many aspects of health rely on robust circulation, as improved blood flow facilitates more efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

Massage guns not only enhance blood flow in specific areas, but a comprehensive body massage with these devices may also contribute to improved lymphatic circulation throughout the body.

Improve Range of Motion

Percussive therapy enhances the range of motion by promoting flexible joints and reducing the risk of strains and sprains.

Restricted mobility often results from the accumulation of fluid in the fascia surrounding bones and muscles. Factors such as injury or sleeping in an awkward position can lead to fluid build-up, causing tightness around the muscles. Percussive therapy aids in dispersing the fascia fluid, alleviating tightness in joints.

Quickened Warm-up and Recovery

The Theragun aids in expelling lactic acid from fatigued muscles after exercise, serving as an excellent tool for post-workout recovery.

By adhering to guided routines, athletes can attain accelerated recovery, providing a convenient and effective approach to warming up that ultimately improves their overall health.

Assists in Pain Management

We are all familiar with the sensation of enjoying an intense training session only to wake up the next morning feeling sore and stiff, commonly known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).

Both massage therapy and vibration treatments prove to be highly effective methods for managing, and in many cases, preventing DOMS.

In a 2014 study with 45 female subjects divided into three groups – vibration therapy, massage therapy, and no intervention – the massage therapy group exhibited the fastest recovery of strength, while the vibration therapy group experienced the least pain in the following days. Considering that massage guns incorporate both vibration and massage, percussion therapy emerges as one of the most effective treatments for preventing DOMS.

Relieves Stress and Tension

Massage therapy, in its entirety, is acknowledged for alleviating occupational stress and general anxiety. Both forms of stress can markedly influence your sleep, affecting both its quality and quantity. The more pronounced the general anxiety, the longer the sleep onset, as the body remains consistently on edge.

We have combined Theragun with other equipment into specialized health protocols

Recover

40 mins
$55
  • Steam room: 20 min
  • Contrast therapy: 20 min
  • Cold exposure: 2
During this protocol, begin by relaxing your muscles and mind in the warm and humid environment of the steam room that will work to improve blood flow, reduce inflammation and help you relax and recover. Pair this with the rejuvenating and energising benefits of both contrast therapy and compression which work in combination to alleviate muscle soreness, reduce inflammation, boost blood flow, and foster relaxation – all crucial elements for enhancing overall recovery.

How does percussion therapy work?

Percussion therapy is a powerful deep muscle treatment used to relieve tension and release soreness in tired muscles after strenuous exercise. This pinpoint muscle treatment involves rapidly striking muscle tissue with a massage gun to improve circulation, which helps with Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) within your body.

Targeting small muscle groups, massage guns deliver intense vibrations to provide targeted pain relief.

Given what we know about the benefits of percussion massages when it comes to improved blood flow and increased lymphatic circulation, there is strong evidence to support that regular percussion massages have many health benefits.
It is very important to note that when dealing with injuries like sprains or pulled muscles, the intense, repetitive movement of massage guns can do further damage to your muscles. Normally, injuries like this are quite sore, so you shouldn’t feel the need to use your massage gun on your injury.
We aren’t saying that using the Theragun can remove cellulite but regular targeted percussion therapy can increase blood flow to the site and may help the cellulite to slowly start to reduce as the body redistributes the fat cells that are responsible for cellulite.
Therabody recommends you use your Theragun up to three times a day. They say to use it for no less than 15 seconds and no more than 2 minutes per muscle group and that a full body massage shouldn’t be longer than 15 minutes.
The Theragun is a very useful device when it comes to pain associated with a pinched nerve. The intense movement makes the relaxation of soft tissue easier by improving blood flow to the targeted area, ultimately reducing inflammation and relaxing the muscles surrounding the pinched nerve.
