1. The principle of massage stick relieving soreness
The wooden muscle relaxation massage stick can accelerate local blood circulation and help remove metabolic waste such as lactic acid by rolling or pressing the muscles. At the same time, improved blood flow can provide more oxygen and nutrients needed for repair of damaged muscle fibers. The concave and convex design of the massage stick can penetrate deep into the muscle layer, roll and loosen the fascia, and relieve delayed soreness caused by micro-tears of muscle fibers or connective tissue damage. Rolling along the direction of the lymph during massage can promote lymphatic reflux, reduce the accumulation of inflammatory factors, and relieve swelling and pain.
2. How to use massage
Place the massage stick under the muscle and use your own body weight to slowly roll back and forth, each area for 1-2 minutes, focusing on tightness or nodules. Avoid direct pressure on bones or joints during massage, keep breathing even, and gradually adapt to the pressure from light to heavy. It can also be combined with hot compresses (such as hot towels) to enhance the effect, especially in the recovery period after 48 hours after exercise.
3. Applicable scenarios
The wooden muscle relaxation massage stick can be used within 20 minutes after exercise. Timely massage can reduce the incidence of delayed soreness by 72%. It has an immediate soothing effect on back pain and stiff shoulders and necks for people who sit for a long time. The wooden material is gentle and suitable for long-term use.
