Used carefully and correctly a massage gun can really help you with your post-workout aches and pains caused by regular visits to the gym.
It’s rather easy to become obsessive about visiting the gym. Much like any physical activity or sporting interest, once you get into the habit, you tend to feel worse if you don’t make it there. Since we’ve been able to wave goodbye to lockdown closures, life at my local gym has more or less returned to normal and it’s great to be back. While the gym was closed, I made a return to jogging. I finally got a really decent pair of the best running shoes and hit the road. I began with 5k and in the end got it up to around 10k a day. The downside was that running reminded me of why I’d signed up for a gym all those years ago. Running takes its toll on my knees and also causes miscellaneous other aches and pains. It’s the main reason why I started using a few of the best massage guns on the market, one of which has proved to be a real help in alleviating some of the muscle pain I got from pounding the pavements. And, now I’m back in the gym, a massage gun is proving to be pretty handy post-workout time too. Reviewing massage guns for TechRadar has helped give me a great insight into what I want from one of these handheld units. I’ve also been able to try many different variations on the theme. One thing I’ve found having experienced a variety of different massage heads is just how versatile these gadgets can be. The Theragun Prime is my current favorite. It’s a quality bit of kit, but I’ve also been really impressed with the accompanying app. If you create an account it can help you with personalized massage sessions, tailored to suit your needs. There are also great walkthroughs for anyone starting out who isn’t sure which head to use, how long to massage for, and all the rest of it.
