Hier vindt u informatie over hoe u The Stick kunt gebruiken om spieren te behandelen op verschillende plaatsen op het lichaam.
Algemene instructies
- Een voorbeeld van een warming-up voor gezonde spieren houdt in dat u ongeveer 20 redelijk diep masserende bewegingen maakt over iedere spiergroep. Dit is ongeveer 30 seconden per groep.
- Een pijnlijke scheut kan ervaren worden als de wieltjes een locale knop of knoop in de spieren tegenkomen, deze plek heet ook wel trigger point.
- Spieren die veel trigger points bevatten zijn vaak zwak, stijf en gevoelig. Ze zijn regelmatig strakgespannen, snel vermoeid en vaak pijnlijk. Deze spieren vereisen een extra behandeling meerdere malen per dag.
- Zorg dat de te behandelen spieren ontspannen zijn tijdens de massage.
- Masseer rechtstreeks op de huid of door dunne kleding
- The Stick is waterproof en ontworpen om te kunnen buigen zonder te breken.
- Het is niet noodzakelijk om de spier te pijnigen om hem te helpen.
- De effectiviteit is het hoogst vlak voor, tijdens of vlak na de inspanning.
- Overmatig gebruik kan de spieren juist beschadigen, luister altijd naar uw lichaam.
