How to use the massage gun Massage to relax the quadriceps on the front of the thigh? This muscle is the largest muscle group in the human body. It consists of four heads: the vastus lateralis muscle on the outside of the thigh, the rectus femoris muscle on the front of the thigh, the deeper medius muscle, and the vastus medialis muscle on the inside of the thigh. When using the massage gun for the release of these muscle groups, because the area of the quadriceps is very large, it must be treated with the massage gun thigh massage.
1. Relaxation of the quadriceps
Start with the lateral head of the quadriceps on the outside of the thigh, then the rectus femoris, and finally the medial head of the quadriceps.
Use the massage gun thigh massage, first open the massage gun to the middle gear, and then gradually relax from the upper end of the thigh to the knee joint, close to the knee joint but not touching the knee joint. During the whole relaxation process, there is a pain point at the distal end of the quadriceps. The massage gun can be limited to this area, and the relaxation can be completed at the fixed point. The time is controlled at about 30 seconds, and the pain point can be removed by small movements. Complete elimination.
Then continue to use the massage gun for the slender rectus femoris muscle to complete the release. From the position close to the wide joint to the hip joint, the massage gun should be perpendicular to the muscle fibers of the quadriceps during the whole process, from near to far, and during this process, if there is a trigger point, stop and massage in the area of the trigger point.
Next, focus on the inner thigh. Since the quadrant on the inner thigh is not particularly long, just loosen the lower half. If there are trigger points here, do the same thing, just massage the part of the entire quadriceps that is inclined to the inside.
2. Relaxation of the iliotibial band
The iliotibial band is a relatively sensitive part of the lower limbs of the human body, so generally you can use a flat massage head to massage it.
Hold the position of the upper thigh bone with one hand, and then use the massage gun against the edge of the palm, gradually massage from the outer side of the thigh to the knee joint. Then strike the iliotibial band vertically and evenly and slowly from the head, from near to far. During the process, adjust the hitting intensity of the massage gun.
The iliotibial band of people who run often is biased to be too tight, so if you are a runner who likes sports, then your thigh iliotibial band must be combed frequently by the massage gun.
3. Hamstring relaxation
The muscles on the back of the thighs are the hamstrings. It is divided into two large parts, one is the biceps femoris that grows to the outside, and the other is the semitendinosus and semimembranosus that grows on the back of the thigh. The hamstrings are the quads on the front of the thighs. In the process of lifting the calf for some quick movements, the hamstrings and quadriceps need to cooperate to complete the movement.
Many football players are very prone to strain the hamstrings when they run fast because the tension in the hamstrings is not proportional to the quadriceps. The hamstrings are usually relatively tight. When we bend over to pick up things, there will be a very strong stretch on the back of the thigh, which means that your hamstrings are relatively tight. At this time, we will A massage gun is required for relaxation here.
