Using Percussion Therapy for Reduced Muscle Soreness

As you gear up for Colnago Gran Fondo National Series, here is some advice on how the Hyperice Hypervolt can help you feel your best.

Using Percussion Therapy to Optimize Your Performance
Percussion therapy delivers targeted pulses of pressure to massage both the superficial and deep muscle fibers. Not only does it feel incredible, but it is an essential tool for cyclists to care for muscles, relieve tension, accelerate warmup and recovery, and help maintain flexibility and range of motion.

• Massage away stress and tension

• Loosen muscle knots and target fatigue and stiffness

• Maintain flexibility and range of motion

• Accelerate your warmup before a workout

• Recover quickly after activity

Convenience = Consistency
Having 24 hour access to a Hypervolt at home is much more convenient and cost-effective than scheduling traditional massage appointments. Instead of a weekly or monthly massage, you can treat your muscles on a daily basis.

Full Body Relief
When it comes to warm up and recovery, cyclists often focus on their quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, but don't forget about other areas like your lower back and shoulders. Percussion therapy has also been shown to loosen tension and help maintain full range of motion, so it can help improve your posture on the bike, make your cycling position more comfortable, and reduce the post-ride soreness you sometimes feel in your back and shoulders.
