Theragun

The TheraGun’s AmpBIT attachments use a strong percussive force on the muscle that creates intense blood flow to help the muscle recover without the pain normally associated with deep muscle treatment.

Studies on chronic pain have showed that deep brain stimulation at frequencies of approximately 30 Hz can produce analgesic effects. The TheraGun’s reciprocating motion runs at a higher frequency (35-40 Hz) than chronic pain (25-30 Hz) with an amplitude of ½ inch. The nervous system’s hierarchy is programmed to pay attention to the higher frequency stimulus over the pain stimulus. This is important because the TheraGun’s vibration and amplitude on the body send signals to the brain faster than pain signals can travel. This high frequency vibration actually overrides pain signals. Therefore, for a period of time, pain is significantly decreased.

Some products produce only vertical vibrations, while some produce only horizontal ones. Others produce a combination of movements, up and down, front to back and sideways. Vertical vibrations are believed to be the most effective. This is why the TheraGun produces a vertical vibration (with an amplitude of ½ inch), which combines perfectly with the frequency.
