Percussive therapy delivers short pulses that act deep within the body's tissues. These percussions promote blood circulation in the treated areas, improving the ability to move and the speed of recovery and alleviating chronic and everyday pain.
The TopMet gun is a tool that allows you to implement percussive therapy. It is, in fact, a percussive device that helps warm up and recover muscles, as well as relieve pain and improve mobility.
The advantage of the TOPMET massage gun is that it can be used by everyone, from the housewife who wants some muscle relief at the end of the day to the professional athlete with great needs, to the therapist who wants valid support in his office for his patients.
But what are the benefits of percussive therapy?
- reduction of pain and muscle soreness
- protection and improvement of tissue functionality
- reduction of muscle tension and prevention of cramps
- increased mobility
- cellulite reduction
- increased blood flow to the application area resulting in increased supply of oxygen and nutrients and removal of waste products
- perception of relaxation
What are the advantages of percussion therapy over manual massage? The advantages of percussive therapy compared to manual massage are both for the therapist, who does not have to apply pressure that strains the hand and wrist joints, and for the patient who no longer perceives the pain of the pressure and is able to obtain benefits more quickly.
How does a treatment work and how long does it last? Treatment with the massage gun is very simple. First of all, the area of pain is assessed and the instrument is applied to the painful muscle area. The problem and intended result determine how the device is used: which of the six available heads to choose, the speed and the treatment duration.
When used in the sports field, percussive therapy can be applied before, during and after physical activity. In the warm up phase with intense and rapid use (30 seconds per muscle group), during the activity for muscle reactivation with even more rapid use and in the recovery phase with a slower (60-120 seconds per muscle group) and less intense treatment. For runners, both pre- and post-run use have benefits: an 8-minute session before a run warms up the muscle groups involved, while a few extra minutes during post-run stretching can provide further benefits.
TopMet's mission? To make percussive therapy accessible to everyone!
