G5 Massage

What does G5 massage do?

For many years, the use of several types of soft tissue techniques have been recognised as facilitating healing and recovery. This concept has been taken to the next level with the latest generation of G5 machines. The G5 works by creating a gyratory soft tissue massage effect on muscles and deeper tissues. Simultaneously, it uses vibration and percussion to increase blood flow and to stimulate a range of healing processes. The combined free movement achieved by the G5 machine makes it unique in its effect. G5 massage therapy has a number of applications and this certainly includes stimulation of circulation and healing, reduction of swelling, reduction of muscle tension, stimulation of the lymphatic system, and reduction in stress hormones. New research from University of Illinois in Chicago confirmed that the scientific benefits of soft tissue deep manipulation has been proven to improve vascular function in people who do not exercise. There is also scientific evidence that soft tissue massage can help with depression and anxiety. The release of positive hormones such as serotonin and dopamine occur. How long is a G5 treatment? This will vary from a few minutes to half an hour.
