Targeting Tight Spots in Legs, Neck and Back – Theragun PRO Massager

 

 

First off, though having a proper warm up and stretching routine is important before and after working out, many of us fail to do so. Through the use of the Theragun PRO warming up and stretching will become simple. This percussion massage device works well to warm up many parts of your body such as your back, neck, and quads.

 

Secondly, I used the massage gun on my back and it made a great difference in expediting the warm up and stretching portion of my training session. The ergonomic design of the Theragun PRO allowed me to easily reach the muscles of my back. From my rhomboids to my lower back, this massage gun had me warmed up in about half the time it normally would have taken. 

 

Lastly the Theragun PRO will help those who struggle with flexibility. This percussion massage device is able to loosen and stimulate your muscles to achieve maximum flexibility.
