HYPERVOLT MASSAGE GUN

A little bit about how the Hypervolt works.. . 

Machine guns provide percussive or vibration therapy. The head of the gun oscillates back and forth to provide high-intensity bursts of pressure into the muscles. The machine also allows you to target a specific area of concern.

The idea behind percussive therapy is that blood flow is increased to the specific muscle area, which can help counter the build-up of lactic acid and decrease inflammation and muscle tension. 

It’s also said that the vibration can synchronize your muscle spindles and give you a better range of motion. Flexible muscles are then less prone to injuries and pains. 

Now it should be noted that while more and more scientific studies are being done on percussive therapy, there is still not a lot of research on massage guns.

 I’ve attached below a 2014 research article in the Journal of Clinical & Diagnostic Research describing the positive effects of vibration therapy on muscle soreness. 

There is however, a ton of anecdotal evidence of how percussive therapy has helped with muscle pain and soreness. And many athletes, trainers, and chiropractors use them everyday. 

HYPERVOLT REVIEW

Hypervolt Massager Review 

A little bit about how the Hypervolt works.. . 

So while there are many difference types of massage guns out there we decided to get the Hypervolt because a friend recommended it to us. However, there are many other massage guns out there, some more expensive and others cheaper than this one. 

So heres what the Hypervolt looks like. 

It comes with these 5 different head attachments.

They do have a newer version with Bluetooth. This allows you connect to their app where they have customized routines for different areas of the body.

The routine will sync with the hypervolt and automatically change speeds or tell you to change heads when needed. 

So we decided to get the Hypervolt without the Bluetooth because it was a little cheaper and we didn’t think we would use the Bluetooth that much.

Besides some slight differences in dimensions, this is really the only difference between the cordless hypervolt and hypervolt Bluetooth/Hypervolt plus.  

One thing I like about this machine is that its overall very user friendly, its easy to change the heads and start using on yourself. 

You really don’t need any experience to use it. However, I will say it does help to watch some YouTube videos to get a better idea of how to use each of the different heads and where on your body. 

The machine is meant to be used on muscle areas, so you do want to be careful not to run it too hard over areas of bone as this can cause some discomfort. 

I do want to mention is that it does have some weight to it (2.5 lbs), which is to be expected for a machine that can provide such powerful movements.

While I personally have no issue with the weight, for someone with weaker hands/wrists it may be a little harder to hold for longer periods. 

When its on high there is some vibration to the hand/wrist.

For example, my mom who is over 60 personally felt that the vibration to her hand/wrist was uncomfortable after a couple minutes, but again this is a personal preference that will vary for each person and depending on your strength and age.  

MASSAGE GUN AMAZON | IS IT WORTH IT?

Overall I think this was a great investment in my health and body. My wife and I are both dentists so we get a lot of neck and back pain from work, so using this has really helped alleviate some discomfort.

I also use it a lot after working out and I’ve definitely noticed a difference and improvement in my muscle soreness. 

Just last week I pulled a back muscle which doing weights at the gym and usually when this happens the next day I’m in a lot of pain and can’t do much physical activity.

I actually had my wife use the Hypervolt on the area and the next day I was playing tennis and had very minimal muscle soreness. 

I personally think anyone doing high intensity workouts or any type of physical job should consider investing in a machine gun. In my opinion every dentist could receive benefits or comfort from this.

My wife and I regularly get massages, but that can get pricey so investing in the Hypervolt was definitely worth it for us. Neither of us had experience with a massage gun, but were able to figure out how to use it on our areas of discomfort pretty quickly and easily. 

That's it! 

This is all you need to know about the massage gun and how I use it to alleviate back pain.  I hope you take the time to check out some of our other blog posts and subscribe to our YouTube Smile Influencers!
