Fascia guns are very popular recently. Is it worth buying?

I think it is worth it! Because it has irreplaceable functions of other massage tools, let me talk about it in detail:

■ What is fascia? What does it do? To say fascia gun, we must first know what fascia is.

Fascia is a layer of fibrous connective tissue surrounding our muscles, which is divided into superficial fascia (loose connective tissue) and deep fascia (dense connective tissue). Just like a spider's web, it surrounds the muscles and blood vessels that wrap our bodies, restraining and protecting joints and muscles.

Fascia plays a very important role in the process of muscle movement: first, it can reduce the friction between muscle tissues, help muscles stretch and contract better, and make our movement more flexible; Secondly, there are a large number of neural networks in the fascia, which can transmit the information in the muscle to the brain and play the role of receiving and transmitting information.

■ Why do you want to relax the fascia? When we are exercising, the lactic acid produced by the human body keeps accumulating, causing muscle aches; At the same time, the hyaluronic acid between fascia layers is increasing, which reduces the lubrication between tendon and muscle and increases the friction, thus producing tendon-muscle adhesion.

When the fascia is stuck or injured, the body will have many uncomfortable reactions: for example, muscles are stiff, tight and sore; Muscle tissue is slack, inelastic, or elasticity drops and sags; There are irregular blocks or cord-like hard tissues under the skin, deep muscle and between bone seams. In short, the natural shape of fascia is destroyed, and the recovery and growth of muscles will be affected. At this time, it is necessary to relax the massage fascia to make the muscles recover faster and grow faster.

■ What are the advantages of fascia gun? FASCIA GUN, full name muscle fascia relaxation massage gun (English name Fasciagun). It can generate 2000-3000 high-frequency vibrations per minute, and impact the target part of the body through the gun head, effectively eliminating the fatigue and soreness of the body and helping the soft tissue to recover and relax. Its high-frequency vibration can directly reach deep fascia and skeletal muscle, and can eliminate fascia adhesion, make meridians unblocked and muscles stretched.

What are the advantages of fascia gun compared with other massage tools?

Manual massage

It is the most relaxing and comfortable way of several massages. However, it takes a lot of time and manpower, so it can't be done anytime and anywhere. Moreover, massage requires strength and it is easy to get tired. Many nodes are not easy to press in place, and the depth and frequency of massage are not easy to maintain.

Massage chair

The labor cost is saved, and the time is easier to control. However, the portability of the massage chair is relatively poor, and because the massage head is fixed, the massage is not in place in many places, and the effect is somewhat discounted.

Foam shaft, massage stick, massage ball

Their portability has been further improved, and they are more flexible and can be adjusted according to the required parts. However, it is still difficult to control the strength and depth by relying on the strength of the human body, and some small nodes cannot be targeted for massage.

Especially deep muscles, it is difficult to be touched by massage sticks or vibrating foam shafts. At this time, you need to use a more professional relaxing massage tool-fascia gun. Compared with our daily use of foam shaft relaxation, fascia gun relaxes muscles and fascia more deeply and accurately.

Fascia gun can touch deep muscles through high-frequency impact vibration, accurately comb muscle lines, make muscle shape more slender, and have the effect of body shaping. It is simply a private "masseur" that can be carried around. Compared with the above massage methods, the fascial gun has been greatly improved in portability, flexibility, massage depth and effect.

The popular fascia gun is not only welcomed by many stars and fitness experts in China, such as VanNess Wu, Li Bingbing, and.

VanNess Wu is here! Is hip-hop two "massage" Han Geng with fascia gun:

Li Bingbing also strongly recommended fascial gun to massage acupoints, affectionately calling it health-preserving electric hammer: "I bought this sledgehammer this year to relax my muscles after fitness, and later found it particularly suitable for health care. I like to use it to massage various acupoints on my legs when I am idle, which is more uniform and labor-saving than a hammer. "

Ada Choi gave her husband Max Zhang a foot massage with a fascia gun before going to bed to relax his muscles;

Yang Kun used a fascia gun to relax himself and dredge meridians in the program;

Even in the United States MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL professional teams, European football club teams, European and American professional athletes, the United States Marine Corps, IFBB professional bodybuilders and sports enthusiasts. From Neymar to Durant to James to Griffin, they are all fans of this product.

It can be seen that the popularity of fascia gun has certain reasons and its irreplaceable role. If the fascia gun does not achieve the expected function, why do so many people buy and use it? Do these stars and athletes owe money for their IQ?
