Do massage guns actually work? Theragun, HyperVolt and Pulseroll claim to help with both warming up for exercise and recovery from it. That wasn’t my experience. In this video I run through the claims, evidence, risk of using them and my personal views on this. Not all recovery tools cost money though. At the end, I’ll take you through 3 free ways to improve your recovery.

Science science science. Picked up a decent massage gun for $40. Feels good and relaxes my muscles. Worth it.

Yes

@aprende69 Год назад

hi jack, please could you do a video about how you edit your videos and how you got that quality on the camera and the microphone. Thanks!!

@grachhhh 7 часов назад

Man i feel so chilled and relaxed after using even the cheapest ones

@47Seagull 5 месяцев назад

Been using one off and on for a couple of years and I agree with you, I can't feel that it does anything.

@Fusion679 7 месяцев назад

Very good video! I love the quality of the video, the audio and the editing, and how you combine the background music with your voice to create the atmosphere. Also, you show scientific studies to support what you are saying. Keep it up!

Thanks, will do!

Mine helps tremendously when I’m sore or tense. I love using it at the base/back off my head. Instant stress/tension release

Loved the vid, I was thinking about getting one in the future but I’ll stick to my foam roller😅

@JackClose Год назад

Thanks Tre! I don’t blame you, they’re very expensive given they’re not really backed by science

You didn't mention that it just feels good when using it :) Like a real massage.

@humanbeing2420 2 месяца назад

It feels good, but it doesn't feel like a real massage, for obvious reasons.

@alexy9124 3 месяца назад

it works. i point it on my back on sore spot and felt great.

@Just4commentchannel Месяц назад

I've found that it works best post-exercise for me. Really helps decrease soreness significantly. If I had to do it pre-exercise, for me it helps if I do it 2 hrs before

@floydamide 7 месяцев назад

It works on the principles of myofascial release. If you have issues in your fascia due to imbalances, trauma only then will you find it worth it. Pretty useless comparing it against sleep and nutrition for a proper recovery

Where's your book summary, Jack?

@TrevorDodd-ev1sx 6 месяцев назад

I broke my neck and I have problems with my lower back and the tops of my legs. I use a massage gun and it relieves most of the pain. They really work and I swear by mine.

@JackClose 6 месяцев назад

Brilliant, glad to hear that it's so beneficial for you!

@ruthcasement5844 7 месяцев назад

Surely anything that manipulates the muscle is good

BORING

@jakeyll464 3 месяца назад

Did you really just steal corporis video lol? You talked about all the same studies, from the calf study to the rhabdo case. Thanks for wasting my time.

@humanbeing2420 2 месяца назад

He probably discussed the same studies as Corporis because they are the only ones that exist. There are no others to talk about. These products are quite new so there's not a large body of research on them. And if you pay attention to both videos it's clear that they're substantively different from each other. Think for a minute or two before you accuse someone of theft.
