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.

Vibration Release Technique: Lower Body

Learn how to use a massage gun on the biceps femoris to relieve hamstring tightness, release trigger points, and enhance flexibility. This step-by-step guide covers proper prone positioning, safe handling around bony landmarks, and targeted techniques for both the long and short heads of the muscle.

 - The long head and the short head are superficial, tube-shaped muscles on the lateral aspect of the posterior thigh. Resisted tibial external rotation can be used to differentiate between the 

 flexion can be used to differentiate between these two muscles.

Common trigger points - The long and short heads of the 

 are in the middle of the muscle bellies. The middle of the short head of the 

 is roughly halfway between the mid-point of the femur and the knee, and the middle of the long head of the 

 is roughly the mid-point of the length of the thigh.
