Vibration on the body is a constant stimulus. So when you rest a vibrating roller on your legs it’s in constant contact and the body becomes acclimatised to it very quickly. It’s not punching or hitting, and because it doesn’t have any amplitude – any ramping up or ramping down – the body accommodates to it, so the nervous system just turns off, it numbs that area.

Using a percussion massage gun can be really beneficial for your muscles. As we use our muscles every single day, we’re constantly putting pressure on them. A percussion massager gun can help to keep the blood flowing and keep them in their best working order. It’s a useful massage tool to use.

The massage gun can be used as an addition to your regular physio visits and can be customised to suit your individual needs with the 6 different attachment heads and 4 speed settings.

Yes, percussive therapy is good for you if used correctly and safely. The pulses and vibrations work to stimulate blood flow which can be beneficial in many ways to keep your muscles in good condition. Percussive therapy has been scientifically proven to help ease the effects of DOMS after exercise, but also to help with general aches and pains.

It can get deeper into the muscle than a normal massage, and it technically does all the work for you so you don’t need to put so much effort into your recovery.
