3 Reasons to Purchase and Try a Massage Gun - What to Know
Everyone loves a massage. Whether you’ve spent an entire day sitting in your office chair or just finished a strenuous exercise session, massages are excellent for undoing the knots in your muscles and promoting relaxation. Sometimes, though, going to a spa or hiring a massage therapist just isn’t possible, especially when you’ve got a hectic schedule.
Fortunately, massage guns were created—and they were made for people like you. Although they resemble power drills used by carpentry professionals and handymen, they’re designed to offer you all the benefits of massage therapy from your own bedroom's comfort. Here are three reasons you should definitely buy a massage gun:
It’s Portable
Have you ever felt like you were dying a massage but felt too exhausted to get out of bed and make your way to the nearest spa? You can get a massage anywhere with a massage gun—your bedroom, your living room, and even the gym! Most massage guns are relatively light at around two to two and a half pounds, lighter than most laptops. This makes it easy to carry around wherever you go.
They also come with a pretty good battery life, which ensures that you can get a nice long massage out of it with each run. Our Gravity One massage gun holds a 2500mAh lithium-ion battery, which you can fully charge in less than two hours. That’s all you need to use it for a whole month.
It also uses our Gravity Quiet Technology, which features noise levels under 40 decibels. You’ll get the full benefits of a massage without disturbing anyone else, whether you’re at the gym or at home.
It Lessens Muscle Pain
Getting plenty of physical exercise is essential to our health. Sometimes, though, that results in delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS), giving you some gnarly muscle pain the next day. Some muscle pain can be so great that it inhibits your movement, making it more challenging to work up the motivation to exercise.
How does a massage gun help with this? Well, a massage gun targets your sore area and works muscle knots and tightness, allowing them to loosen. Your massage gun with then let the lymph move without restriction, improving your lymphatic system and promoting healing. This will lead to a better metabolism, which allows your muscles to burn more calories.
A massage gun will also reduce your rehabilitation period, meaning you’ll be up and ready to exercise before you know it. It helps you increase your endurance, which will encourage you to maintain an active lifestyle without suffering through intense muscle soreness.
It Improves Your Stretching Ability
Massage therapy is a great way to maintain and improve flexibility. It helps you achieve a broader range of motion, which is great for keeping your joints more fluid and less prone to injury. Stretching your muscles is also incredibly crucial before starting your day or workout. It preps them for strenuous activities, allowing you to push yourself further in your work out.
A massage gun works on muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissues, and joints to do just that. It helps relax tense muscles while stimulating blood flow, allowing your lungs to deliver oxygen to the rest of your body. It also enables you to recover from illness faster while preventing diseases, critical to staying healthy.
A massage gun also helps you improve your posture, which will help prevent soreness in your back from slouching. Your muscles will feel more pliable, elastic, and flexible, allowing you much more freedom of movement and preventing DOMS.
Conclusion
Massage therapy is excellent for helping you relax, release muscle tension, and improve blood flow. In fact, it’s a highly recommended practice for self-care. While going to a spa or setting up a massage appointment may be too demanding for your schedule, a massage gun makes this much more accessible. You can give yourself a powerful yet quiet massage any time, anywhere.
