BEST TOOLS FOR MUSCLE RECOVERY

BEST TOOLS FOR MUSCLE RECOVERY

When you perform a rigorous exercise, your muscles undergo stress and strain, which causes small tears in the fibers of your muscles. This leads to Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness or DOMS, which typically develops 24-48hrs after a strenuous exercise. The symptoms of DOMS include muscle soreness, stiffness or inflammation. DOMS is not a very serious issue and generally resolves on its own within a few days. However, there are a few ways by which you can alleviate the symptoms of DOMS and using muscle recovery tools is one of them.

Muscle recovery tools are designed to speed up the process of muscle recovery as they improve circulation and oxygenation in the muscles. They help reduce muscle soreness and pain and improve your range of motion. TRNR brings you a wide range of tools for muscle recovery after a rigorous workout session. Following is the list of a few such tools:

1. Massage Sphere
   This convenient, firm massage ball lets you roll freely to sustain pressure wherever needed and perform an effective myofascial release. Designed with wide muscle groups in mind, it is the perfect tool to target back muscles, glutes, quads and hamstrings. You can use this tool before training to activate blood circulation or after training to recover faster.
   
   
2. Stretch Band
   This accessory is an ideal choice to achieve greater and sustained stretches without muscle or joint strain. Stretch bands are made by tightly interweaving latex to nylon strands to withstand repetitive use without loss of progressive elasticity. This band takes stretching to another level, delivering both leverage and control for ultimate safety. Use it as an effective warm-up tool to prepare your muscles before a workout or to bring your muscles back to their natural length after any strength-building session.
   
   
3. Ice Stick
   It is a convenient cold therapy tool that helps alleviate inflammation and numb pain. The curved design offers targeted muscle compression, while the steel barrel with encapsulated gel delivers prolonged cooling. You will find it most useful to access your neck, back, and lower body muscles.
   
   
4. Hand rings
   The Hand Rings come in a pack of two, with a light resistance for rehabilitation work and a heavy resistance for a focus on sports performance. The rounded contours let you perform crushing and pinching exercises, while the hollow centre accommodates effective finger extension exercises. Made from top-grade silicone that is both hypoallergenic and sustainable, the Hand Rings deliver a convenient solution that leaves room for progression.
