Pulseroll Vibrating Foam Roller for Deep Tissue Muscle Massage

Product Information

Recently, vibration has been added to the FR devices with the aim of increasing their benefits [ 8]. we conducted a pilot study with 5 participants in each group to determine the effect size and statistical power. Passive and active hip extension and knee flexion ROM of the dominant leg were measured with a Microfet3 inclinometer placed in the middle of the thigh and tibia respectively (Norkin and White, 2004). The NIRS measures muscle tissue saturation by emitting near-infrared light (wavelength, 630–850 nm) into the muscle tissue. Designed as a much larger roller (and the most powerful product in the Pulseroll family), the Vibrating VYB Pro can be used all over the body, is ideal for focusing on larger muscle groups, and is perfect for those of a larger build.

Effects of foam rolling on performance and recovery: a systematic review of the literature to guide practitioners on the use of foam rolling. Verywell Fit uses only high-quality sources, including peer-reviewed studies, to support the facts within our articles. Recently, vibration has been added to foam rollers, with hypothesized advantages over conventional foam rollers.Self Myofascial release (SMR) - Fascia is a tough connective tissue encloses and supports various tissues within the body. Size and Portability: Vibrating foam rollers come in all shapes and sizes, and choosing the right one for you depends on your personal preference and lifestyle. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, no study has compared the effect of vibration rolling with non-vibration rolling in individuals with EIMD in both the knee and hip joint to analyze its effects on training recovery.

Plus, you can easily adjust your vibration intensity and access guided rolling routines via the Therabody App. The vibrations from the motor stimulate the massaged area as the roller covers the surface, working in two ways to help you recover faster. However, the aforementioned interventions were conducted on participants without exercise induced muscle damage EIMD. So if VT can potentially increase blood flow / oxygenation to muscles, could it attenuate the effects of EIMD/DOMS? This foam roller excels at getting into the deep, stubborn knots that a softer foam roller may not be able to reach.However, agility is influenced by the tone and the stiffness of the muscles involved [ 30, 39] and VFR has been shown to decrease these [ 3, 6, 37], which could be detrimental to agility test performance and could explain the conflicting results. assessed the blood flow before and after an intervention with VFR and reported an increase of this variable, but similar to after FR. Combine deep-tissue rolling with heat therapy and powerful vibrations for the ultimate recovery tool. Initially, 556 studies were found and after the eligibility criteria 10 studies were included in the systematic review and 9 in the meta-analysis. And within a week of consistent use, the roller helped to break down some seriously uncomfortable knots.

The participants were asked to abstain from unaccustomed exercise, as well as all medications and dietary supplements, for 72 hours before baseline measurements, during the experimental period and post-treatment ( Figure 1).All the studies included were analyzed in terms of methodological quality with the PEDro scale [ 27].

But for even more relief, you may reach for a vibrating foam roller, since the added vibration not only enhances recovery but can also potentially increase strength, agility, and performance. Yes, vibrating foam rollers are just as safe to use as regular foam rollers as long as you use them properly, Gallucci says. First, the studies included contained limited sample sizes and had poor methodological quality according to the PEDro scale, especially with respect to blinding and concealment of allocation, probably due to the characteristics of the intervention with VFR [ 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49].
