According to the Journal of Pain, more than one-third of all American adults report suffering with chronic muscle pain. Muscle sprains and strains also account for more than 30 percent of all reported sports-related injuries in the U.S., according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

With so many people dealing with constant pain, it is no wonder that sales of hand-held percussive massaging devices like the Theragun have skyrocketed in recent years. We have seen them for sale everywhere – even the airport – where aching passengers are eager to massage away their painfully restrictive flying experiences! These devices have also become an important tool in physical therapy practices like Allied – helping to deliver a better treatment experience to patients.

In this month’s Wellness Connection video, Dr. Matt talks about how these devices help to relieve pain by increasing blood flow in affected areas – and demonstrates how you can safely use these devices at home.

Of course, if you continue to suffer from painful muscles, please do give us a call at Allied and make an appointment to see one of our experts. We are always standing by – eager to help you get back to what you love!

In case you missed it!
