Relieve Adductor Muscle Soreness with a Fascia Gun in 3 Minutes
Have you ever felt like this? The muscles on the inside of your thighs are painful. This area is adductor muscle, and it helps bring your legs together to move them toward the midline of your body. As well as helping to stabilize your pelvis when you are walking, running or standing. So you may wonder, where does this soreness come from? And what can we do about it? Let's discover the secret to relieving adductor soreness.
Reasons of Adductor Muscle Soreness
There are common reasons of causing adductor muscle soreness:
Overuse: If you perform more leg stretches while exercising and don't get enough rest, it can lead to overuse of the adductors.
Muscle Strain: Sudden overstretching, falling, and other strenuous movements can cause you to injure your muscles, which can then lead to pain in your adductors.
Weak Adductors: Some people are born with weaker adductors or they lack a workout routine, making the chances of injury much higher.
Age: As you age, your body functions decline and some simple movements may lead to an adductor injury.
How to relieve the Adductor Muscle Soreness
RICE
RICE is a simple but practical treatment to help reduce pain and speed recovery from soft tissue injuries.
- Rest
When you feel pain coming from the adductor muscle, especially a sharp pain, you need to stop the activity immediately. For the next 24 to 48h, do not add pressure to the painful area, as this will worsen the injury.
- Apply Ice
Next apply a cold compress to your adductors. Cold will dull your perception of pain and reduce discomfort. It also causes the blood vessels to constrict and the flow of blood to slow down, preventing or treating inflammation and swelling.
- Compression
Compression is to wrap your injured area and reduce the swelling by using a bandage or specialized brace. You should pay attention and do not immobilize it too tightly either or it will be counterproductive to healing.
- Elevation
Keep raising your Injured part above to the level of your heart. It aims to reduce blood flow to the injured area, which in turn reduces the pressure and discomfort caused by swelling and inflammation.
Massage
Chronic pain in the adductors can then be relieved by massage. With repetitive, steady pressing and kneading movements, massage helps speed up the circulation of blood, relax the muscles and relieve pain. The most basic massage can be practiced with your hands; you can also use some tools:
Foam Rollers: This is a cylindrical massage device that focuses on relaxing large muscle groups. When using the tool, you can reduce the amount of effort expended and massage the adductors more easily. However, it has some drawbacks in that it cannot target smaller areas of muscle soreness.
Massage guns: They are more versatile, which combine daily relaxation with restorative therapeutic utility. The electric motor allows the fascia gun to provide a well-balanced massage to provide pain relief to the adductor muscles with maximum efficiency. In addition, both large and small muscle areas of pain can be targeted by choosing different massage heads.
The excellence of the massage gun goes far beyond that. In addition to the most basic percussion therapy, some types of massage guns have been designed with additional features. For example, therapeutic massager that can provide hot and cold therapies, impact massage gun that aim to vibrate deep into the muscles, and massage guns that can play music. They provide a better massage experience when treating adductors.
Precautions for Using a Fascia Gun
- Massage your muscles, not your bones. The adductors are in close proximity to your thigh bones and next to your pelvic bone. If you massage them against the bone, you may do serious damage to your body.
- We recommend keeping the massage to 3-5 minutes for each section. Do not exceed the recommended massage time, this will increase the risk of injury rather than bringing a better treatment.
- Don't use your massage gun while charging, it's dangerous. Use it after a full charge.
Follow the instructions and let the ABEGET massage gun help you chase away the aches and pains! If you experience any discomfort while using the massage gun, it is best to seek the help of a medical professional as soon as possible.
