00:00My name is Chris Hau.
00:09I'm a Theragun trainer.
00:11Today we're going to talk about some of the benefits of percussion therapy.
00:14Brittany, so this is the Theragun G3 Pro percussion therapy device.
00:18We have the power button and then we have the two speeds.
00:21And so you turn it on, it's going to be the lowest speed first.
00:24So you can try this, Brittany.
00:26Yeah, it's soft, right?
00:28And now we're going to go into the next speed.
00:30Try that.
00:32That's percussion therapy right there.
00:35So for a workout, we always like to recommend pre-workout.
00:39You just want to hit those 30 seconds on those muscle groups and that just kind of wakes
00:43you up.
00:44Now, anything north of two minutes, that'll start to say to your brain, hey, you know,
00:49we're relaxing.
00:50That's going to be downregulating your system.
00:51So we're going to be doing a post-workout recovery, starting off with Brittany's upper
00:57back and then working all the way down to her feet.
01:00So we'll start up here.
01:01So I'm going to be using the second speed.
01:05I'm just letting it float on her.
01:07I'm not pushing down.
01:09The post-workout, when you're spending all that time on those big muscle groups, you're
01:13going to draw the blood in and those nutrients to start the repair, the muscle building process
01:18to maximize that recovery process.
01:21And we're just going to be going down both sides, right next to her spine.
01:25And then we're going to go down the side of her glute here and then her hamstring.
01:29We're going down to the calves here now, and this is like one of my favorite spots up next
01:35is like the bottoms of the feet.
01:40When you're applying the G3 Pro or Theragun to someone else, you don't know how hard you're
01:45actually pushing.
01:46But the best thing is if they're like, hey, I don't feel anything or that started to help,
01:50but really didn't, let them do it.
01:56All right, so, yep, move it up the side of your leg.
01:59Yep, and you know your body best.
02:02So you come down, you want to spend a little bit more time in different areas, feel free
02:06to stop at that point, go once or two over, and then move on to the front of your quad,
02:11your leg.
02:12Cool.
02:13Now take it with your right hand and let's go up to your shoulder, yep, and get that
02:19chest and then move into your shoulder, front of your shoulder, the side of your shoulder.
02:24And then at this point, we would just switch hands and then we would do the same thing
02:27on the other side.
02:28Feels so nice.
