Vibration Release Technique: Lower Body

Vibration release techniques for the tensor fascia latae (TFL), gluteus minimus, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris (quadriceps), adductors, biceps femoris (hamstrings), gastrocnemius and soleus (calves). Manual therapy using vibration massage tools (massage guns and percussion instruments), what is vibration, vibration massage benefits, side effects, and comparing vibration to foam rollers. What receptors are stimulated, vibration effect on reflexes, how to reduce muscle soreness (DOMS), muscle pain, performance, and strength.
