How does it actually work?
Increasing blood flow and nutrient circulation
Injury healing involves the generation of new cells or repair of injured cells. This requires nutrients and oxygen which is brought to the injured area through increased blood flow. Muscle scraping can increase microcirculation by up to 400%, bringing all the oxygen and nutrients that your muscles are craving!
Boosting collagen activity and regeneration
Collagen is the building block of our tissues. It helps create structure within the cells for optimal injury recovery. Muscle scraping can boost collagen activity, like fibroblast proliferation and alignment of new collagen fibers.This means there will be plenty of new cells to facilitate healing of injured tissue.
Disrupting pain signals to the brain
Muscle scraping provides pain relief by disrupting pain signals to the brain. Compression from the tool can alter the messages that an injury sends to the brain, which changes the outgoing messages that alert us to pain. This gives you a window to stretch and strengthen with less pain, accelerating your injury recovery.
