G5 percussion massagers - General Usage and Effects

The physical effect of the Massage and Percussion is determined by the following four factors.

1) Choice of Applicator: Much of the effect is determined by the applicator you select. General or specific body areas may be treated. Next to each applicator is a detailed description of its function.

2) Angle of Application: Placement of the face of an applicator parallel to the body produces a vibratory effect. Placement of the edge of the applicator perpendicular to the body produces a percussive effect. Note: The use of the Percussion adaptor #209 amplifies the percussive effect.

3) Pressure of Application: Varying the pressure greatly changes the effect. The greater the pressure applied, the more specific the area of treatment. Note: Because of the machine’s deep penetration, you do not need to use heavy pressure.

4) Speed of Oscillation:

A) The LOW speeds

• Generates relaxation through penetration in preparation for additional massage. Re-establishes relaxation during the massage routine when used to link more active movements.
• Reflex contraction of muscle fibers improves muscular response.
• Arterial circulation increases thus producing a local rise in skin temperature.

B) The MIDDLE speeds are recommended for compression movements or a deep kneading effect.

• Tones muscle tissue and reinforces natural
• Relaxes hard contracted muscles preventing the formation of fibrositis in the tissue.
• Assists in absorption of fluid around the joints, thus reducing swelling (edema).
• Reduces muscle spasms.
• Hastens the removal of waste by-products by increasing lymphatic flow and drainage.

C) The HIGH speeds are recommended for

• Specific or general warm-up prior to exercise.
• Stimulation of sensory nerve endings bringing about a reflex response in the skin's circulatory network.
• Obtaining an analgestic or "pain-masking" effect.
• Goading muscles and joints.
• Eliminates fatigue by helping to remove lactic acid.
• Brings about relaxation of contracted muscles.

For years, massage therapists have used G5 Massage Machines as extensions of their hands to deliver consistent, deep penetrating massage therapies. Extraordinary results are achieved with our patented Directional-Stroking system, which combines vertical and parallel forces to produce effective and comfortable percussion, oscillatory massage, deep tissue mobilization, kneading/compression, skin layer resonation and other therapy techniques

Each General Physiotherapy G5 Massager/Percussor incorporates our patented Directional-Stroking action, which has been proven effective in dislodging and mobilizing secretions and metabolic waste by-products. While other products provide vibration therapy alone, or simple up-and-down percussion alone, G5 Masssagers/Percussors provide two force components: one perpendicular to the body's surface, to help loosen and liquify fluids, and the other force parallel with the body's surface, to help mobilize fluids in a selected direction. Effective respiratory care and physical therapy requires that percussion, vibration, and mobilization be accomplished. Equally important, patient compliance is enhanced as a result of our comfortable and safe Directional-Stroking motion.
