Say hello to their latest percussion device, the Hypervolt Go 2, helping active individuals recover faster so that they can get back to doing more of what they love.
Massage guns are more popular than ever. Celebrities, professional athletes and fitness influencers alike rave about their benefits. That’s because anyone can use them. Percussive therapy is said to help muscles recover faster while reducing muscle pain, muscle fatigue and lactic acid build-up. With a product like the Hypervolt Go 2, you can guarantee yourself a deep-tissue massage, used for trigger point release on your tightest muscles. Some of the benefits are:
ONE: IMPROVED FLEXIBILITY
According to a 2014 study published in the Journal of Clinical & Diagnostic Research, percussion massage therapy explains that aside from pain reduction, the vibration also synchronises your muscle spindles which results in a better range of motion. Once muscles become flexible, they won’t be as prone to injuries and pains as they were before. Your flexibility will also improve your posture and balance.
TWO: DELAYED ONSET OF DOMS
In the same study as above, it also states that percussion massage therapy will promote “improves muscular strength, power development, and kinaesthetic awareness.” It also, “effectively improves muscle performance which may prevent DOMS.” The Hyperice Percussion massage gun can result in delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS, is a runners nemesis. DOMS is that sore, tight feeling that pops up anywhere from 24-28 hours after an intense workout or race. DOMS is not only uncomfortable, but it can hinder future workouts by leaving you feeling either too sore to workout, or inhibiting movement patterns because of soreness. By giving your muscles the daily relief they’ve been asking for with the Hypervolt 2’s percussion massage you’ll be able to warm up quickly, stay loose, and accelerate recovery at home and beyond.
THREE: INCREASED BLOOD CIRCULATION
Overtraining can lead to severe muscle pain largely due to the lactic acid build up in your muscles whenever you do an intense workout. This effect can be countered by increasing blood circulation, and studies published in 2011 and 2014 pointed out that percussion therapy helps increase blood flow. In sports recovery, the increase in blood circulation minimises muscle tension and inflammation and helps you recover quicker and experience less pain.
FOUR: BETTER LYMPHATIC FLOW
Fewer muscle knots and muscle tightness means better drainage in the lymphatic system. When the lymph moves freely, the body can excrete toxins and waste effectively. A better lymphatic system means a healthier immune system and improved metabolism. Massage Therapy – through the usage of Hyperice Normatec boots, means getting a massage will help to loosen up muscles, increase oxygen and blood flow into muscles, removes lactic acid buildup (which is what makes you sore), and deliver nutrients from your body to your muscle, ensuring you can recover quicker, perform for longer, at your best.
FIVE: RELIEVES SORENESS AND PAIN
Give your muscles the daily relief they’ve been asking for with the Hypervolt 2’s percussion massage. Warm up quickly, stay loose, and accelerate recovery at home and beyond – so you’re ready to tackle whatever comes next. On a more scientific level, vibration therapy through the use of our Hypervolt 2 percussion gun after a long run where you experience sore muscles, may help reduce the perception of pain through same mechanism of “pain gate control theory.” According to this theory, sensory neurons carrying pain sensation and sensory neurons carrying vibratory sensation both transmit signals to the same afferent neurons, which in turn sends information to your brain. The neurons activated by vibratory sensation inhibit the afferent pain nerves, thereby blocking or inhibiting the message sent by the neurons that sensed pain. Therefore, the vibration from the percussion massage gun may close the nerve gates to painful input, preventing pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system.
