The Open University in the UK found that massage guns like the Theragun, which deliver percussive therapy, can help improve acute muscle strength, including explosive muscle strength and flexibility, and reduce experiences of musculoskeletal pain.
Percussive therapy is a form of massage or vibration therapy that involves the use of a device (ie the Theragun) to deliver rapid, concentrated pulses of pressure to the soft tissues of the body. The main goals of percussive therapy are to enhance muscle function, reduce muscle soreness, and improve overall physical performance.
The Theragun range was created by Dr Jason Wersland, a chiropractor who after having a severe motorcycle accident wanted something to address his own chronic pain. The Theragun comes in a number of devices and are all handheld massage devices delivering rapid, concentrated pulses of pressure to targeted areas of the body.
Also, in the Theragun range there is the wave series, which is a selection of rollers suitable for various parts of the body. The whole Theragun range can be connected to the Therabody app for personalised recovery routines, releasing tension and increasing mobility where you need it most.
