Advantages of G5®Chiropractic Massagers

Professional therapists have used G5®chiropractic massagers and percussion products for over 65 years, offering real value to their patients. Through the use of G5® products, customers have noted better outcomes and less pharmaceutical usage among patients.

Full-Body Relief

G5® percussion massagers can reduce fatigue, muscle tension, and muscle pain all over the body, including the hands, feet, and arms, thanks to our wide selection of massagers and applicators that you can choose to best suit your patients’ unique needs.

Versatile Applicators

We offer a wide assortment of professional massage applicators for specific procedures, such as fine and gross muscle relaxation, trigger-point reduction, deep tissue massages, movement of edema fluid, thermal massages, and more.

Comfortable for the Patient

Unlike other massage tools on the market, G5® products are not “massage guns” that move in a linear back-and-forth motion with limited speed options, which many chiropractic patients describe as feeling like punches.

G5® massage tools offer variable speeds and multidirectional movement to provide true pain relief and therapeutic value to patients. General Physiotherapy, Inc. Directional-Stroking Technology combines vibration and percussion to create a powerful yet comfortable gyratory pulsation, offering nuanced movement and pressure that produce better patient outcomes.

Accessibility

You can quickly master G5® products. Operating a G5® massage machine is intuitive, with an ergonomic design that makes handling each device easy. In no time, many customers feel that their G5® handheld massagers are extensions of their own hands.

Applications of G5® Chiropractic Tools

Chiropractors and other professional therapists use G5® products in a variety of settings and procedures.

G5® massage therapy devices can help patients maintain mobility within the tissue structures of ligaments, tendons, and muscles to reduce atrophy and adherent scars.

Proper use of G5® massage/percussion products can relax muscles, allowing for more efficient manual or mechanical manipulation of the area to reduce lower back pain, foot pain, and other patient concerns.

G5® massage/percussion products assist professional therapists treating pressure sores in three primary ways:

  1. Application of G5® devices increases surface circulation, which reduces arterial degeneration.
  2. By relaxing the muscles surrounding the bone, massage assets can reduce the height of bony protrusions.
  3. General Physiotherapy, Inc.’s exclusive Directional-Stroking technology allows you to transport away toxic tissue fluid as you safely treat the perimeter around pressure ulcers.

Proper application of the right G5® massage head generates heat, which increases circulation. This activity assists in mobilizing edema fluids from an area and restores mobility to the affected area.

Higher frequency vibration causes vasodilation, resulting in increased blood flow. This activity brings nutrients and oxygen to localized areas and can promote healing.

G5® trigger-point massagers relieve the localized tension buildup or muscle contraction of hypersensitive areas that can evoke pain elsewhere in the body when stimulated.

Research has shown that multidirectional vibrations can result in localized reduction of edema and accelerated regeneration of lymph vessels.* G5® multidirectional, variable-speed massagers provide detoxification of lymphatic systems by mobilizing lymphatic fluids and draining excess tissue fluids.

Professionals use G5® chiropractic and physical therapy massagers for myofascial release to reduce pain, tension, and tightness of myofascial tissues. Research suggests that the use of percussive devices can result in improved myofascial outcomes, including, but not limited to, improved range of motion of the treated area, reduced pain, and tension reduction.*

Research shows that vibration therapy can temporarily increase range of motion for localized areas through potential reduction of edema and fluid viscosity.* G5® devices provide continuous passive motion to massage the area of concern. This motion reduces edema and relaxes muscle swelling, increasing range of motion of the affected area.

Higher frequency vibration releases endorphins, which results in an analgesic effect to the area of treatment.

*G5® devices mimic the functionality of the devices used in these studies.
