Good info for all in not only repairing damage but preventing injury. My big doodle will tug on me occasionally during a cold morning walk which has led to some issues. The gun is perfect for preventing this sort of issue. They mention Tom Brady a lot - pliability is key! As is his low inflammatory predominantly whole food plant based diet - also great for preventing injuries and for recovering quickly.

I really enjoy watching you both. I just realized that there are different message guns. I am 77 years old and I watched how to diagnose if you have a sacroiliac problem and it sounds like it. I have been going to a chiropractor for a month and a half with very little results. My pain is in my right leg. It starts from the groin and down my leg. My knee also hurts sometimes and sometimes goes on the top of my foot. The pain in my lower back is on the left side but my pain on the leg is only on the right. Will this gun work for me and where can I purchase the right one for me. Thank you so much.

I just ordered this massage gun thanks to your recommendations. I have spondylolisthesis L5 on S1, found on x-ray. I am not sure if this is the source of my 4+ year chronic low back pain on the left side. I’m hoping this will help. Physical therapy exercises and those given to me by my chiropractor help every morning, and I walk 4-5 miles every day pretty gently but at a good speed. As soon as I try to do something which requires bending, even just a little.... OW! I hope this device will help. I’m glad I watched as I will use the lowest setting possible at first. BTW, I got the Thermotex infrared heating pad and I think it’s great. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks Bob and Brad 💕👏

Ball is good for large muscle groups, the "air cushioned" one is probably the same or for medium muscle groups, the pointed one is good for pinpointing treatment, but can be quite intense. Honestly, you could go by how it feels. It shouldn't be painful beyond the discomfort a deep tissue massage I would say.

That's an interesting clip, I've been looking around for a massage gun occasionally but now decided to get one. I went with the cheapest option I could find at a local shop, since Amazon said the current situation might stretch international order times. It would be interesting to try the most expensive Theragun model to compare if it's really that much better.

@gdog3finally 3 жыл бұрын

The Theragun is WAY better than these products here. The hypervolt is NOT as intense or as durable. I will be 50 years old in December and have turned back the clock with my Theragun. I have been using it daily for about a year now. My work in the weight room has gotten better on so many fronts. My body function is like it was 25 years ago and my pain is very much decreased. That was a Mickey Mouse presentation by Bob and Brad. Get a Theragun. Cost be damned. It's worth it.

@chardonnay5767 3 жыл бұрын

@@gdog3finally The cheap model I bought was from React, it feels and looks cheap. Even then it has been quite useful, especially for joint areas and tendons. I do a lot of sports and because of that tend to have regular groin injuries, but with this type of product it's easier to speed up recovery and also when used pre-emptively as a part of warming up it feels a lot like it actually does prevent injuries. There was also a flareup of an old shoulder injury, but it got better with a couple sessions of vibrating the rotator cuff muscles. I've been very impressed even with the cheap model so far. When working on places like the middle of the quads it's also not bad, it can give a sort of relaxing vibration. In sports massage you sometimes pay a good bit of money so that the therapist does something very similar to that. I'd still say the best bang for buck with a product like this comes when working on difficult areas like near joints.
