Hoopers Beta | Should Climbers Buy a Massage Gun? A Doctor of PT's Perspective @HoopersBeta | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Time to beat some information into you, repeatedly, and super fast, while doing minimal work. Time, to talk about massage guns.
In this video, we’re going to talk about the science behind massage and massage guns, the principle use and benefit of them, i.e. if they’re worth your time and money, best practices if you have one, and finally we will include a little review of one that was just sent to us.
We’re not going to tell you which brand to buy or anything like that, but we are using the Achedaway Pro (www.achedaway.com) in this video because Achedaway sent it to us to review + giveaway. While we don’t consider ourselves a gear review channel, we thought this would be a useful video for you, our audience, since massage guns are pretty common in the climbing community. To be clear, Achedaway is not paying us to do this, they have no influence over the content of this video, and they’re not reviewing it before it’s published.
IN GENERAL, WHY DO WE DO IT?
So what’s the point of massage aside from just feeling good? Well, research has shown that it can result in:
1) Accelerated tissue healing
2) Reduced delayed onset muscle soreness
3) Better recovery post exercise
4) Decreased pain
5) Improved function such as with range of motion and self reported improvements in activities of daily living
6) Decreased stress (lower cortisol levels, increased serotonin and dopamine)
For ALLLLLL the show notes, check out the website hoopersbeta.com or go to: hoopersbeta.com/library/massage-guns-and-climbing
Have you ever used a massage gun like the Theragun, Hyperice Hypervolt, VYBE, Flyby, TimTam, Ekrin, etc? What did you think about it? Was it helpful or not? Let us know in the comments!
