Making time & space for recovery.

At MyBody Fit we are dedicated to helping people understand the importance of recovery whether you are a gym goer or not. If you experience any level of stress, strain, or tension, you can benefit from recovery. Recovery is so much more important in these un-certain times for your mental & physical health. It isn’t something you should be doing once a week; it’s something that can help you in your everyday routine, regardless of whether you are an avid gym goer or not.

As humans, we are continually under mental stress which can lead to physical aches & grievances. Your body won’t feel the same every day, so neither should your recovery. At MyBody Fit we want everyone to have access to an affordable product which has been used in the professional sports industry for well over a decade.

Most of us are living busy, stressful lives, making it hard to focus on down time. But what if we all shifted our perception from what we have to do to what we should do like spending quality time with loved ones, setting fulfilling goals, or recovering from physical & emotional stress.

It’s our mission to help people & to educate anyone we can about Percussive Therapy and the ways it can add to your life.  

What is percussive therapy?

Percussive Therapy increases blood flow and decreases the tension held deep within muscles. It is unique in that it focuses on a combination of speed and depth to maximize the therapeutic effects each time the device makes contact with your body.

The continuous stimulation stimulates the brain away from pain while also delivering deep, effective treatment that is more comfortable & effective than manual therapy. This helps alleviate the tension that builds up after performing simple tasks like lifting a heavy item or sitting behind a desk for an extended period of time. 

These are some of the benefits of MyBody Fit Percussive Therapy:

• Decreases muscle soreness & stiffness
• Increases blood flow
• Decreases lactic acid
• Improves range of motion
• Hydrates tissue
• Improves stretching ability 

Anyone with muscles and a nervous system who experiences tension can benefit from ther product

Prioritising recovery goes beyond professional sporting event. It’s for everybody, regardless of occupation or lifestyle. No matter what walk of life you come from, we all experience wear and tear on our bodies. Whether your body is feeling the effects of a morning spin class, a run, or a long day at work, it’s essential you allow it to recover. Once you begin to understand the many benefits of everyday recovery, you can start to truly feel better naturally.
