Recovery and Rehab Tools

[guns01]

what are you guys using for recovery and rehab pre post and whenever? i got this cool new tool that the mrs and i both use pretty much daily. it's called a fascia blaster. women use it for cellulite but it is also good for a ton of other great rehab prehab deals. check this puppy out:

again i am going to point out this thing is marketed towards women with cellulite and other issues but it is more valuable than that. my pt is the one that made the suggestion to me and got us the hook up on one. so dont just blow this thing off as a chick thing.

it is pretty good for both pre activation and post workout as well. if you got a spot that isnt firing really good or pumping up. you hit it a little bit before leaving the gym and it is almost brand new. same thing for post workout. it will drive in fluid and blood for recovery. hurts like a mother though haha

if you guys are close with a pt massage therapist or a chiro they can get a break on pricing. you have to follow the directions very well with using it and bruising up. the fist couple of weeks the mrs could only do it once or twice because she bruised up really bad. myself, i have only had one bad bruise on my hip flexor and that was it. i can pretty much use it daily

I can usually get massage therapy tools under my cosmetology license. So I will check into that too. thanks again guns

Re: Recovery and Rehab Tools

Not exactly the same, but similar. PLers have been using these and foam rolling for years.




Conventional Foam Rollers Compress Soft Tissue
Physical therapists, trainers, and athletes use foam rollers to relieve muscular pain and tightness (often called "adhesions", "knots", or "trigger points"). But conventional foam rollers have smooth surfaces that further compress soft tissue. Rolling on top of them improves blood flow and tissue flexibility, but the effect is limited and relatively superficial, unless you spend a lot of time rolling.
The RumbleRoller was created to perform this therapy more effectively.
The RumbleRoller Manipulates Soft Tissue - Like a Massage Therapist!
The surface of the RumbleRoller contains specially designed bumps that are firm, but flexible, much like the thumbs of a massage therapist.
As you roll over the top of the RumbleRoller, the bumps continuously knead the contours of your body, gently stretching soft tissue (muscle and fascia) in multiple directions. This action erodes trigger points, helps restore flexibility, and brings quick relief to common types of muscular pain. By design, the RumbleRoller's bumps are firmer than muscle tissue, but much softer than bone, so they deflect out of the way if they contact your spine or other bony protrusions.
Through simple techniques, you can control the amount of pressure the bumps apply to your body. The bumps are closely spaced to one another (< 2" apart), so several of them simultaneously contact your body during most exercises. However, with a slight shift of your body, you can reduce your area of contact with the RumbleRoller, which increases pressure and provides deeper, more penetrating relief.

thanks man. i love reading and learning new things about improving our longevity and improving pain issues. i am pretty much down to try just about anything.

if you have bad shoulder issues or it is a weak point it would be a hell of a great investment. both the guys i know that use it absolutely love the thing. both say their shoulder pain has been completely eliminated and my strongman buddy does regular overhead single arm db presses almost every other day. so that in itself is pretty crazy to me haha. so no pain and getting stronger are hard to beat
