Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What's the difference between percussion and vibration massage?
Percussion massage (think massage guns) involves very fast hammering-like knocks to dive deep into the muscles. These are fantastic for areas of knots and post-exercise. Vibration massage involves a knocking and oscillating action – often more gentle – to help stimulate blood flow and are excellent for relaxing and concealing pain (Gate Control Theory).
Are handheld massagers safe for seniors?
Yes, with proper selection. Seniors need to choose vibration massagers, or percussion tools at the lowest speed with a soft attachment. These items should never be applied directly to bones, joints, or bruises.
Would vibration therapy help with neuropathy?
Some people find vibration therapy very helpful when they are dealing with neuropathy. Vibration therapy can help stimulate nerve endings and increase blood flow in the extremities.
How long should you focus on a given area of your body while using a massage gun?
You might be surprised at the answer. A warm-up activation cycle can last 15 to 30 seconds on a given muscle group. A recovery session following a workout can last a total of 2 minutes.
