How to use the massage gun to massage and release the triceps of the calf. The triceps calf, as the name suggests, consists of three head muscles, but in fact it is only divided into two parts. The gastrocnemius muscle in the superficial layer and the soleus muscle in the deep layer. The two muscles mentioned are located on the back of our calf, and they are mainly responsible for the movement of our ankles. For example, we like to jump and skip rope. At this time, every time we take off, the muscles on the back of the calf must complete the corresponding contraction. Whether riding a bicycle or running track and field, the calf is an essential muscle group involved.
We will find that many track and field athletes have very slender legs. But many ordinary people have very thick calves. In fact, a part of this is related to the tension of his calf muscles. Use the massage gun calfes to massage for relax, to improve the blood circulation of our calf, and to have a certain plastic effect for our calf.
So here is a point to explain: the massage gun calfes for massage is muscle shaping, which can improve the calf muscles, but it cannot lose weight for the legs!
1. The distribution of calf muscles and first gastrocnemius and then soleus
The origin of the calf muscle grows from the lower end of our entire bulge and the fibers can go all the way down the knee joint, across the calf, and across the ankle joint. end at the root bone. The soleus muscle grows downward from the back of the calf and crosses the ankle joint. The surface layer is our gastrocnemius muscle and the deep layer is the soleus muscle. Therefore, in the process of release, we will first release the surface layer of gastrocnemius muscle and release our deep layer. Soleus muscle.
2. Points to pay attention to when relaxing and shaping the calf
When releasing and massaging the calf, we need to pay attention not to hit the knee joint of our calf. Be careful to avoid the calf knee joint, tibia and Achilles tendon.
3. Massage the calf with a massage gun
One hand protects the knee joint, that is, it is attached to the upper end of the calf, and the other holds the massage gun and opens it to the first gear position. Slowly move toward the heel from the top. When you get close to the Achilles tendon, you can stop the massage. When massaging, the massage gun should always be perpendicular to the surface of the calf. When massaging the calf, if there is too much pain, we need to stay on the pain point for about 30 seconds! When we comb the surface of the calf, the gastrocnemius massage of the calf is finished.
Since the daily tension of the calf muscles is relatively high, we will replace the gun head for a deep massage, the purpose is to completely relax the gastrocnemius and biluna muscles on the calf!
