After hearing about these massage guns for some time in the fitness and adventure community, I was super keen to test the Power Plate Pulse out, and see if they truly lived up to the hype!
Power Plate Pulse Review
Straight out the box, you can see that this is a quality piece of kit. The gun feels sturdy, well built and comes with many different attachments to use on different parts of the body.
Useage is pretty self-explanitory, but if you need some advice on how to use it correctly, there are endless tutorials on youtube!
Being an extreme sports enthusiast, and having trained weights and calisthenics for the last 18 years, I really do understand the importance of stretching and massage. Mostly through neglect of my own body, and then having to spend months doing painfully slow rehab!
Prevention is ALWAYS better than cure.
Most recently, I picked up a knee injury after a week of intense weighted hiking and running.
Alongside a solid rehab program, this massage gun has been a godsend! Using this daily on the surrounding muscles of the knee joint, and all over the body has got me feeling more flexible and pain-free then ever before. After use, the muscles literally feel rejuvinated, and there is a sense of peace and calm that spreads throughout the body.
My favourite part of this massage tool is the fact it is battery operated! Being able to take this away on adventure trips surfing, hiking and climbing has made a huge difference to my recovery time.
Using it in the evening after a big day on the mountain allows me to go to bed fresh and relaxed, rather then tight and knotted like most will have experienced!
Having spent years in the fitness industry as a PT, the number one problem I saw in people was poor flexibility and mobility. This is a huge problem, but one that can be very easily fixed. Where people may not have wanted to visit a Physio, this product has now bridged the gap, and allows anyone to get top quality muscle relief from the comfort of their home.
I would 100% recommend the Power Plate Pulse to anyone looking to improve their flexibility, mobilty and recovery in the adventure and fitness game.
