Why we need to use a Fascial Gun after exercise?

Many people’s first reaction to muscle soreness after exercise is the accumulation of lactic acid, but in fact this is just an outdated misunderstanding. This kind of soreness is called DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness), which means delayed onset muscle soreness.

DOMS is not only accompanied by soreness, but may also cause decreased range of motion, joint stiffness, local swelling, weakened muscle strength, and even affect muscle growth. It is an outdated and wrong dogma to think that lactic acid causes muscle soreness.

In fact, DOMS is caused by minor trauma and inflammation of the muscles and surrounding connective tissue. Nociceptors in muscle tissue, which is a kind of free nerve endings, can feel chemical stimuli such as inflammation or disturbance of capillary microcirculation, and send pain signals to the brain.

The use of a fascia gun to massage the muscles, or use the vibration axis to relax, can promote the flow of body fluids, thereby helping the minimally invasive repair of the muscles, restoring the balance of the body tension system, and reducing the risk of sports injuries.

This is common knowledge in the American sports world, so the fascia gun is very popular in sports circles such as the NBA, and now it has become an artifact of office white-collar workers.
