    Just see it for what it is, a temporary relieve of muscle soreness. It's not a long term fix for anything, but my back feels relieved after using it on my Gluteus Medius.

    Science science science. Picked up a decent massage gun for $40. Feels good and relaxes my muscles. Worth it.

    Been using one off and on for a couple of years and I agree with you, I can't feel that it does anything.

    Mine helps tremendously when I’m sore or tense. I love using it at the base/back off my head. Instant stress/tension release

    I've found that it works best post-exercise for me. Really helps decrease soreness significantly. If I had to do it pre-exercise, for me it helps if I do it 2 hrs before

    You didn't mention that it just feels good when using it :) Like a real massage.

      It feels good, but it doesn't feel like a real massage, for obvious reasons.

    Very good video! I love the quality of the video, the audio and the editing, and how you combine the background music with your voice to create the atmosphere.
    Also, you show scientific studies to support what you are saying. Keep it up!

    Don't waste your time on this video, because it DOES WORK for some people! Just buy it and try it. Much cheaper than going places wasting money. And it won't cost more than equivalent of 2 such visits.

    It works on the principles of myofascial release. If you have issues in your fascia due to imbalances, trauma only then will you find it worth it. Pretty useless comparing it against sleep and nutrition for a proper recovery

    Idk if its a placebo effect. But for me, when i massage before and after, it greatly reduces how sore i get. Iv tested it a few times and the pain is greatly reduced. Especially in my legs.

      Thanks Tre! I don’t blame you, they’re very expensive given they’re not really backed by science

      In the first 4 hours after training there’s some evidence for decreased hypertrophy with cold exposure but not after 4 hours

    I broke my neck and I have problems with my lower back and the tops of my legs.
    I use a massage gun and it relieves most of the pain.
    They really work and I swear by mine.

    Did you really just steal corporis video lol? You talked about all the same studies, from the calf study to the rhabdo case. Thanks for wasting my time.

    • @humanbeing2420
      @humanbeing2420 7 місяців тому +2

      He probably discussed the same studies as Corporis because they are the only ones that exist. There are no others to talk about. These products are quite new so there's not a large body of research on them. And if you pay attention to both videos it's clear that they're substantively different from each other. Think for a minute or two before you accuse someone of theft.
