How to deal with muscle fatigue and stiffness
Massage stimulators (including electrotherapy devices, pulse massage devices, etc.) mainly act on the human body through techniques such as electrical stimulation, mechanical vibration, or ultrasound, and have the following core functions:
1. Relieve muscle fatigue and stiffness
Stimulate muscle contraction and relaxation through low-frequency current or mechanical vibration, accelerate lactate metabolism, and improve muscle soreness and stiffness caused by prolonged sitting, exercise, or strain. For example, there is a significant relaxation effect on the shoulders, neck, waist, and other areas.
2. Promote blood circulation
Electric pulses or vibrations can dilate blood vessels, increase blood flow, alleviate local ischemia and hypoxia, and help eliminate metabolic waste, which has a certain improvement effect on edema or cold hands and feet.
3. Assist in pain management
By blocking the transmission of pain signals or stimulating the secretion of endorphins, chronic pain (such as lumbar muscle strain, arthritis) and neuropathic pain can be relieved. However, it should be noted that serious organic diseases require medical treatment.
4. Regulating physiological functions and the nervous system
Electrical stimulation can affect cell membrane ion channels, regulate bioelectric activity, improve sleep quality or autonomic nervous system dysfunction (such as insomnia, indigestion).
Precautions for use
5. Assist in sports recovery and injury prevention
Using it after exercise can accelerate recovery, while using it before exercise can activate muscle groups and reduce the risk of strain. But acute soft tissue injury should be used after the swelling subsides
