How Do I Perform Self Soft Tissue the Best Way?
Oct 14, 2023I have received multiple questions asking if I find the massage gun and other soft tissue massage implements as beneficial. I want to say that I LOVE when an athlete can benefit by doing something on their own, and I believe the massage gun, and other soft tissue massage implements, can provide great benefit to each athlete.
Self soft tissue massage, massage gun included, can have many benefits that include: improved blood flow to the area and improved tissue quality. There are a couple of tips that I would give when explaining to someone the best way to use these strategies.
These tips would be:
- Perform self soft tissue massage on days that you do not have exercise or activities that are high intensities.
- Work through the entire range of motion of the muscle while performing the massage
In this weeks video, I go over the these tips and provide a few examples on how to perform self soft tissue massage on specific muscles.
