In addition to hard training sessions, regeneration is essential in order to become faster on the bike. Loosening fascia, removing waste products and lowering lactic acid levels is high-performance work for our body. Massages can support the body and speed up the process. However, very few amateur bikers have a physiotherapist on hand. Similar to Exercises with the fascia roller or Electrostimulation devices massage guns should trigger a kneading effect and stimulate the muscles to regenerate more quickly. The massage guns are designed to do this work. No special prior knowledge is required, but you should avoid the joints, spine and head.

The Jolt Mini Massage Gun
Due to the high-frequency shocks, massage guns increase blood flow, which relieves muscle pain and accelerates muscle regeneration. Various removable heads can be used to treat different types of sore muscles, stiffness or knots. Self-massage is also intended to relieve persistent tension or pain. The vibrations that are transmitted to the painful area heat up the tissue and loosen it.
Jolt is a French start-up for innovative muscle recovery products that are now also available in Germany. The French company's portfolio includes two muscle guns (Bolt and a mini version) and a pair of wearable recovery boots, which act as a pressotherapy device for faster recovery after training.
Not only high-performance athletes but also amateur athletes should benefit from the massage tools. The recovery boots Jolt Boots are a pressure therapy device and therefore have a similar effect to manual lymphatic drainage. The aim is to relieve disorders and congestion in the lymphatic drainage system. The mode of operation is the same as with Battery massage trousers from Reboots - the Go Recovery Pants - which we are already testing were able to.
Jolt massage guns are suitable for beginners and amateur athletes, but are also used by professionals. They can be used for regeneration after sporting exertion, to treat pain or for relaxation. The mini version fits in any hand luggage and is said to be extra quiet. While the Jolt Bolt massage gun for 179 Euro the mini version costs 109 Euro. The Jolt Boots recovery boots beat with proud 699 Euro to book.
