They can be used to relieve muscle soreness and tension.
Massaging the muscles can help stimulate blood flow, which can aid in the breakdown of scar tissue. They also help loosen up tight muscles and relax tense muscles, which can be especially helpful before or after a workout or other physical activity.
Additionally, there is some evidence that regular use of percussion massagers may help prevent delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), an often painful condition caused by overexertion—typically from exercise but not always—that results in stiffness and pain within 24 to 72 hours after exercise ends.
They can help prevent DOMS.
It’s a condition that is most commonly associated with exercise and can be felt 24-48 hours after your workout. The pain usually fades within five days, but it has been shown to cause long-term damage in some instances.
So why do we get sore muscles? It all comes down to micro-tears in the muscle fibers, which are caused by intense exercise or trauma. When you stretch out your muscles during exercise, they release enzymes that break down proteins in order to help them relax and lengthen. This process is called “catabolism”, but it isn’t always good for you—sometimes it causes damage instead of helping!
They can assist in breaking up scar tissue.
A mini massage gun can help because of the massage action helps break up the connective tissue that forms around injuries, surgery wounds and inflammation. Scar tissue can be extremely uncomfortable to deal with. It can restrict the mobility of your joints and cause pain when you move them in certain ways. It’s also difficult to treat conventionally because it’s resistant to many conventional remedies like ice packs or heat therapy.
They can increase circulation.
Massagers hand held deliver a series of deep, penetrating taps that can increase blood flow and help to relieve pain. The vibrations they produce stimulate the muscles in the area being treated, encouraging them to relax and release tension. This may also result in increased circulation of the lymphatic fluid around your body’s tissues, which improves overall health by flushing out toxins and other waste products from their cells.
The tapping action of percussion massagers is similar to how cupping therapy works: by creating negative pressure inside your body. By creating negative pressure within an enclosed space like your skin, it draws fresh blood into this area by increasing its internal pressure relative to outside forces—like gravity pulling down on us all day long! This process increases circulation within this region of interest as well as brings fresh oxygenated blood into areas where there was previously low oxygen levels because those cells weren’t getting enough nutrients or oxygen due to poor circulation caused by tight muscles holding onto old injuries and so on.
