Impact Gun Therapy for Performance and Recovery
A comprehensive program utilizing impact gun (percussive therapy) for pre-workout activation, intra-workout recovery, and post-workout muscle relaxation. **Disclaimer:** Consult with a healthcare professional before starting this program, especially if you have pre-existing conditions. Discontinue use if you experience pain or discomfort.
Program Modules
Pre-Workout Activation
Prepare muscles for optimal performance using the impact gun.
VMO Activation
DailyActivate the VMO (Vastus Medialis Obliquus - the teardrop muscle above your knee) to prevent patellar tracking issues during running. *Why this matters:* A strong VMO helps stabilize your kneecap and prevent pain.
“Prevent runner's knee sometimes is associated with that patella going lateral.”
Intra-Workout Recovery
Use the impact gun as a biohack to enhance muscle recovery between sets. *Note:* The effectiveness of this technique may vary. Monitor your body's response and adjust accordingly.
Pectoral Activation (Bench Press)
DailyActivate pectoral muscles between bench press sets for improved performance. *Important:* Listen to your body and stop if you feel any pain or discomfort.
“Biohack to help that pet quickly recover and reanimate and reactivate it.”
Post-Workout Recovery
Facilitate muscle relaxation and reduce soreness using the impact gun for recovery.
IT Band Recovery
DailyRelax the IT band and lateral quadriceps for improved recovery. The IT band is a thick band of tissue that runs along the outside of your thigh. *Benefits*: Reducing tightness in this area can improve flexibility and reduce knee pain.
“Help muscles relax and get you right feel better for the next time.”
