Contrary to popular belief, muscle recovery is important for everyone, not just professional athletes. It can help keep your muscles healthy and in their best working order.
Using muscle recovery equipment could be the pain relief you’ve been waiting for. Many rehabilitation professionals and physiotherapists use this kind of equipment with clients when they are suffering from various muscle conditions, as well as those with just general aches and pains due to age.
Who can benefit from muscle recovery?
We all use our muscles every single day, most of the time we use our muscles without even thinking about it. Even if you’re not doing intense exercise, it’s still beneficial to take care of your muscles and give them time to recover on a daily basis.
This is also a great way to help prevent future injuries. If you’re suffering from muscle pain and have low mobility, using muscle recovery equipment can generally help improve your way of life by increasing mobility and easing muscle soreness.
It can also help improve flexibility, which can be very helpful if you’re someone who likes exercises such as yoga. If you work in an environment where you’re on your feet all day, doing heavy lifting and doing manual labour, then this kind of work can really put strain on your muscles. Equally, if you work in an office and you’re not moving around frequently enough, this can also cause tension in areas such as the back and shoulders.
We are sure many of us can relate to this after being hunched over your desk for a good few hours. If you suffer from conditions such as arthritis or plantar fasciitis, you can actually use muscle recovery equipment on the feet and hands to ease any pain.
How do muscle recovery tools work?
Muscle recovery tools, such as foam rollers and massage guns, can increase circulation, ease soreness, and keep the muscles working properly, enabling you to stay fit, strong, and on top of your game.
As knowledge of the importance of recovery has increased, a varying range of muscle recovery equipment has been developed to help ease sore muscles and provide relief from any aches and pains. The equipment works by applying pressure on sore spots and tight muscles using a technique called myofascial release. Pressure is applied to the muscle to ease pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood flow, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles.
Fascia is a thin, tough, elastic type of connective tissue that wraps the muscle in the human body. When you over-use certain muscles, the fascia tears and this causes inflammation. Foam rollers and massage guns can be used to specifically target various different muscle groups in different areas. Many people find using a vibrating foam roller is great for the back, while a massage gun is better for targeting areas affected by arthritis.
You may be thinking “a massage gun, arthritis?’ but muscle massager guns have been proven to significantly reduce pain related to certain conditions, such as arthritis.
