The Science Behind Recovery

The Science Behind Recovery

Recovery is not just about rest—it's an active process that can be significantly enhanced through targeted massage therapy. Recent studies have shown that percussive massage therapy, like that provided by ONAMI devices, can accelerate muscle recovery and reduce post-exercise soreness.

How It Works

Percussive massage therapy works by delivering rapid, targeted pressure to muscle tissue. This stimulates blood flow, breaks up muscle adhesions, and activates the body's natural recovery mechanisms. The result? Faster healing, reduced soreness, and improved performance.

The Research

Multiple studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of percussive massage for recovery:

  • • 30% reduction in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
  • • Improved range of motion by up to 15%
  • • Enhanced blood circulation and oxygen delivery
  • • Reduced muscle tension and stiffness

The key is consistency. Regular use of massage therapy, especially post-workout, can lead to cumulative benefits that improve overall recovery time and athletic performance.

ONAMI products are designed with this science in mind, delivering the precise type of therapy that research shows is most effective for recovery and relief.
