I bought a hypervolt and it is a godsend. People will say amazon knockoffs are the same, but it truly doesn’t get through to the knots as well

Helps for any type of muscle pain. I will say you’ll need an extra hand to use it on your back though

Been considering the Theragun or even a TENS unit like PowerDot to help with low back pain that just seems to linger despite chiropractor, massage, dry needling, and physical therapy exercises.

Yes! Love my Theragun. It’s great for recovery.

I really like my theragun, it’s been great for running recovery

I got an Exogun for $160 or so and I like it for any general muscle soreness and can definitely help loosen up stiffness in the hips especially where it can be hard to stretch! Very convenient to just target a spot when you need it

Start running regularly. Even if you are not a runner, go for long brisk walks first, jog for a few minutes during your walks, then start doing some longer runs during the week using proper form. Massages and massage gadgets are not a solution and will exacerbate the problem in the long run.

Massages and massage gadgets mask the problem through some pain relief mechanism when the real damage is piling up due to muscle weakness and increased structural stiffness. Massage gadgets are useful to soothe soreness after an exercise, but not after hours of sedentary sitting.

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
