What Are The Benefits of Using a Good Quality Hand-Held Massage Unit?

Increased Blood Circulation

The high powered multi-directional vibration delivered by a quality hand-held massage unit like the MATOBA AME 88 DELUXE  (Formally known as the MATOBA AME 40) to improve blood and lymphatic circulation. This helps oxygen and nutrients get around your body more quickly, reducing inflammation and pain in your muscles and helping them to repair and grow.

Improved Flexibility and Mobility

Improved blood circulation can also help boost your flexibility and mobility. Using a massage unit improves circulation, which in turn clears away waste and releases tension improving tissue metabolism and health.

Pain Relief

If you love to work out, then you’ll be no strangers to DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and for many people this will be why they picked up a massage unit in the first place. Targeted massage on tight, sore muscles helps to relieve pain by relaxing trigger points, lengthening the muscles and dissipating lactic acid. Massaging also interrupts neurological pain frequencies, reducing pain even further.

Injury Prevention

Using a massage unit before you work out can help warm up and wake up your muscles before you start to move, increasing your range of motion and reducing the chance of injury.

Enhanced Immunity

Although research is still ongoing, it’s believed that using high quality massage devices can boost your immune system. It’s likely that this is due to improved blood circulation and a healthier lymphatic system.

Better Sleep

Using a massage unit shortly before sleeping can help to relax your central nervous system and signal to your body that it’s time to sleep. Many massage unit users find they achieve a better quality of sleep having used their massage device ten minutes before hitting the hay.

Ease Stress and Anxiety

Massages are often recommended as a great way to reduce tension, stress and anxiety and the same goes for using your massage unit at home. By calming your central nervous system and improving your sleep, a high quality massage device can improve your overall sense of well-being.

Increased Focus

With less pain, reduced stress and improved blood circulation your brain is going to be able to focus more intently, another way in which massage devices can improve your overall athletic performance. Your state of mind can make a world of difference on event or competition day.

Rehabilitation

Good quality Massage units can be used to supplement rehabilitation after injury. Again, the increased blood circulation is the star here, hastening muscle repair. As well as general muscle soreness, percussion therapy has also been known to help treat fibromyalgia, sciatica and shin splints.
By massaging collagen fibers deep in the body, massage therapy can also breakdown scar tissue which often causes pain and discomfort.

Enhanced Performance

By now it’s probably becoming quite clear why massage units are so popular. With increased flexibility and mobility, reduced inflammation, better sleep and less injuries your overall athletic performance is going to improve, and who doesn’t want that?
