A mini massage gun’s motor will make a certain amount of noise when it’s turned on. There’s tolerable noise and then there’s madhouse noise levels. The body makes this byproduct when there is not enough oxygen in the muscles to produce energy. And this is common. As our bodies start to perform more intensive exercises, we naturally begin to breathe faster to try and get more oxygen into the body. That usually works, but there are some situations where working muscles require the production of energy much faster – they can’t just wait around for our oxygen. This is where anaerobic respiration occurs.According to Gallucci, there are multiple aspects to take into consideration when it comes to a massage gun, both pros and cons.

So why do massage guns make such bold claims about helping push through the removal of lactic acid? It’s long been thought that all kinds of massage perform this function. Whatever the degree to which this works, at least there’s something there that’s potentially moving us away from the supposed disruptive effects of too much of this byproduct. Breaking glucose down to produce energy in normal, oxygen-rich circumstances creates a substance called pyruvate. With oxygen, pyruvate is highly effective in breaking down even further for more energy. Without oxygen, pyruvate is temporarily converted into a substance called lactate.
