G5® Athletic Massage Therapy Tools
Professional, college, and even amateur-level athletes today are willing to do whatever possible to produce faster speeds, shorter times, and peak performances. To do this, many of them are incorporating sports massage therapy into their weekly training regimen.
As a rapidly-evolving sub-specialty of the massage therapy field, a sports massage combines classic and specific techniques designed to provide therapeutic impact for the unique physical and bio-mechanical needs of athletes when a foam roller just won’t cut it. Not only do sports massages promise to help athletes relieve sore muscles, but they can actually help improve circulation and range of motion to make their game even better.

Advantages of G5® Percussive Massagers
Reduction of Athlete's Inflammation
There are few areas where rapid reduction in pain/inflammation is more valuable than in competitive sport. When using G5® products in your athletic massages, the unique multi-directional stroking paired with the gyrator percussion addresses the mechanical and chemical irritation of the peripheral nerves. Put simply, this results in a greater reduction of inflammation because it helps treat neuropathic pain and neurogenic inflammation in the body parts.
Increased Recovery Time for Patient
Sports massages and vibration therapy can help restore blood flow to the muscle after strenuous activity. This, in turn, accelerates the recovery process while reducing the discomfort associated with muscle strains and soreness. In addition to alleviating this muscle tension, sports massages using G5® products can also minimize the buildup of lactic acid, thereby alleviating cramping in specific areas.
Overall, using G5® recovery tools can help improve your patients’ soft tissue injuries, muscle spasms, pressure sores, and edema, which facilitates an athlete’s swift return to physical activity.
Help Boost Patient's Athletic Performance
Studies show that sports massages can help improve delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), flexibility,* and range-of-motion. Not only that, it can also improve the athlete’s mood,* which can be helpful in cases such as alleviating stress after suffering an injury, helping an athlete cope with anxiety that may affect their performance, and boosting confidence before a game. In short, low-decibel percussive massagers can play a role in improving and maximizing an athlete’s performance.
Comfortable for the Patient
When using other percussion massage guns and mini massage guns on the market to warm up muscles, patients often describe the linear back-and-forth motion of the muscle massage gun’s percussive therapy to be an uncomfortable punching motion. G5® massage tools combine vibration and percussion to create a powerful yet comfortable gyratory pulsation, offering nuanced movement and pressure that provide true pain relief and therapeutic value to patients. Through the use of G5® products, sports clinics have noted better outcomes and less pharmaceutical usage among patients.
