Vibration massage helps relieve muscle pain by relaxing muscle tension and increasing blood flow to the tissues.
When pain occurs, it can trigger a nervous system response to increase muscle tension, leading to further pain. Localized muscle stimulation with vibration can break this cycle by reducing tension and relaxing the area.

In overworked or fatigued muscles, blood flow to the affected area decreases, leading to a buildup of metabolic waste products. By increasing localized circulation, waste products are removed and oxygen is delivered to the muscles, which helps reduce swelling and alleviate pain.

Vibration applied locally to the muscles helps create a relaxation response to reduce muscle tension and stiffness. When muscles are relaxed, they become more flexible, which makes it easier to stretch them and increase range of motion.

Vibration also stimulates sensory receptors in the skin and muscles, activating neural pathways involved in movement and proprioception (sense of body position).

Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) typically develops 24 to 72 hours after strenuous exercise. It is thought to result from microscopic damage to muscle fibers and connective tissues, as well as an inflammatory response. Lactic acid, a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism, also contributes to the development of DOMS.

Vibration massage helps reduce the severity and duration of DOMS by increasing microcirculation in the muscles, removing lactic acid more efficiently, and stimulating the release of anti-inflammatory cytokines.

Vibration massage can improve muscle strength performance by activating the neuromuscular system. Vibration stimulates muscle spindles (sensory receptors that detect changes in muscle length and tension) to increase motor unit uptake.

When more muscle fibers are activated to perform a movement, it can result in greater force production and increased muscle strength.
