Flowgun Pocket

Studies have shown that 10 minutes of massage every day gives good effects and can reduce pain by 30%. In addition, the body produces hormones dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin which can go up by 30%. The stress hormone cortisol has also been shown to go down by about 30%.

In other words, you can massage every day!

A massage gun can be used on horses. Just like humans, horses also need treatment for their muscles. Studies have shown that horses that have had their muscles treated, perform better during their competitions. A massage gun can be used before the competition to warm up the muscles, and also after to start the recovery. It stimulates the muscle and has an anti-inflammatory effect.

A massage gun is a perfect tool for treating runners knee, which usually has to do with overexertion of the structures in the area of pain. When using a massage gun, recovery is initiated, which is a prerequisite to avoid overload. Recovering carries a lower risk of injury.

Before working out, it is recommended to use your massage gun at a lower frequency with a weaker pressure. If you massage too intensely and deeply before training, there is a risk that you lower your tone, ie the muscle tension/explosiveness that is in the muscles.

Run at the lowest level (900 rpm) and massage topically around the entire muscle for about 30-60 seconds. This contributes to increased mobility by releasing tension in the connective tissue (Myofascial release). The vibrations also contribute to increased circulation and body temperature in the selected area. With this as a routine, together with a good physical warm-up, you have good conditions for a more effective workout.

Massage guns have become very popular in the last year. But what exactly is a massage gun and how can you use it? Lucas Wasniewski at Flowlife answers your questions! A massage gun can be used to relieve pain, speed up recovery and improve mobility. With deep vibrations, the muscles are stimulated and the blood circulation increased.

A massage gun is an effective tool to use after a workout. The vibrating massage generates waves in different frequencies, that contributes to increased blood circulation and reconstruction of damaged tissue through higher activity in the cells.

Common areas that become tight during the day and after training are calves, the ligament/thigh muscle, and shoulders/trapezius. When recovering a muscle, it is important to first massage the entire muscle at a lower frequency level in order to try to find where in the muscle it is most sore. Once you have found the area, hold the massage gun in that area for at least 30 seconds. This is so that the receptors in the muscles respond to the vibrations and thus relax and reduce the pain.

A massage gun is an excellent tool for initiating recovery. The power of the massage gun causes it to go deep into the connective tissue and in this way loosens tension and stimulates the fascia. With a lower strength, the massage gun can be used to warm up the muscle and with a higher strength to treat trigger points.

In addition to the price, the clearest difference with each massage gun is in their highest vibration level, where Flowgun PRO reaches about 240 watts, Flowgun Go about 180 watts and Flowgun Pocket 100 watts. With that said, you get the most powerful massage with Flowgun, but Flowgun Go and Flowgun Pocket are also powerful enough to meet most needs.

With Flowgun PRO, the possibilities to adapt the treatment are slightly more, as the frequency of the 5 different speed levels ranges between 1400-3200 rpm at 5 different speed levels, while Flowgun Go has a range of 1700-2800 rpm, and Flowgun Pocket a range of 2000-3200 rpm.

We usually say that Flowgun PRO 2.0 is mainly for elite athletes, those who work in the physio industry or those who are in need of extra hard massage. Flowgun Go 2.0 is good enough for the average Joe, those who want to improve their performance and recovery, at a very good price. Flowgun Pocket is perfect for those who want to combine strength and agility in the form of a small, portable and high-quality massage gun.

With 6 interchangeable attachments, it is easy to access parts you want extra pressure on. Below you will find a more detailed description of the attachments.

Soft head - This round attachment is good to use for the slightly larger muscle groups, such as thighs, calves and buttocks and works just as well to use before training to soften the muscles as after training to get proper blood flow.

Flat and thin - This attachment should be used on thinner surfaces, such as wrists or narrow legs, where the pressure should not be too hard.

Flat - This attachment is good for flat areas, such as the chest and front thighs. Because it has a flat head, the pressure is even over the entire area you are massaging.

Silicone - This is for the more sensitive areas and joints. If you have a sensitive or sore spot, such as trigger points in your shoulders, this massage head is preferable.

Fork - This fork-like attachment is good especially for shoulders, arms and forearms. It is comfortable to use around muscles rather than right on and works very well as warming up the muscles.

Pointy cone - This attachment is good if you want to target a trigger point or a specific, smaller area. Because it is pointy, it is easier to get in depth at specific points.

The lumbar spine is an area where you can usually feel pain. It is very common and affects about 80% of the population at some point. You usually feel tension, ache or stiffness in the back. You usually get pain in your lower back if you added too much pressure when lifting heavy or been sedentary during a long period of time.

A massage gun is excellent to use on the lumbar spine. The massage gun helps to dissolve tension and trigger points that can occur in the lumbar spine. Massaging the lumbar spine is the best way to get rid of the pain because massage increases circulation and makes your muscles relaxed. As the area can be difficult to reach on your own, you can take the help of a friend!

One of the most common causes of calf pain is a muscle strain, something that often occurs when the muscle is oaverloaded.

A massage gun is an effective tool to use when treating such injuries. It is recommended to start gentle and slowly increase the power applied as the pain gets better. The massage allows for muscle stimulation and acts as a pain relief. Moreover, a massage gun increases the blood circulation in the area of use, something that helps the recovery process.
