ALL PERFORMANCE
Utilize the IMPACT gun before, during or after workouts for maximum
TM
benefits. Percussion massage can help accelerate muscle tissue
responsiveness and recovery by increasing hydration, range of motion
and function to tight muscles.
Always start using the TriggerPoint IMPACT on the lowest setting with
the lightest pressure. Place head of massage gun on desired muscle,
and turn on IMPACT to low speed. Apply pressure according to the
following based on time of workout:
Pre-Workout: High Speed + Light Pressure: Less than 30 seconds per
muscle group at a high setting. Aids in motor control, coordination and
body awareness.
During Workout: High Speed + Deep Pressure: Less than
30 seconds per muscle group to help maintain stimulation,
circulation and recovery.
Post-Workout: Low Speed + Deep Pressure: Apply pressure for
60 seconds or more to offer aid in hydrating tissue and speeding
up recovery.
