Fascia gun is a high-frequency vibration tool that usually has the functions of relaxing muscles, relieving pain, promoting blood circulation, unblocking meridians, assisting soft tissue repair, etc. Caution should be exercised when using it to avoid serious consequences caused by incorrect use.
1. Relaxing muscles: The fascia gun can effectively relax muscles, relieve muscle tension and stiffness through high-frequency vibration. Its vibration frequency is usually between 2000-3200 times per minute, which can penetrate deep into muscle tissue and achieve a deep relaxation effect.
2. Relieve pain: The high-frequency vibration of the fascia gun acts on the deep layers of muscles, helping to reduce local tissue tension and alleviate pain caused by muscle tension or strain. For patients with fasciitis, fascia guns can assist in improving pain symptoms.
3. Promote blood circulation: The vibration effect of the fascia gun can increase tissue blood flow and promote blood circulation. This helps improve the nutritional supply and metabolic waste excretion of local tissues, reduce lactate accumulation, and accelerate muscle recovery after exercise.
4. Clearing meridians: Proper use of fascia guns can generally clear meridians and alleviate physical discomfort caused by blocked meridians. Using a fascia gun before exercise can stimulate and awaken muscles, reducing the chance of injury.
5. Assisted soft tissue repair: Fascia guns can accelerate blood flow and promote soft tissue healing. Through vibration, the tense and stiff fascia can generally be relaxed, which is beneficial for the repair and regeneration of soft tissues.
Although fascia guns have many benefits, improper operation or excessive use may cause skin or soft tissue damage. Therefore, when using a fascia gun, it is recommended to follow professional guidance to ensure correct operation. If there is any discomfort, seek medical advice promptly.
