One powerful massage device that helps make training and recovery a breeze at a price our competitors can’t touch. What’s So New About the All New?

How to Use the All New Power Massager ------------------------------------- ### A Step-by-Step Guide to Using the All New  The All New Power Massager has so much power that we want to make sure you know what to do with it. Here we’ll break down the step-by-step to using the All New and provide expert tips to getting the most out of your new favorite recovery device. 1. **Charge the All New**. Use the included wall charger to bring your ANPM to a full battery.  2. **Insert the battery pack into the base**. Your battery should slide in smoothly. Apply pressure with the palm of your hand to ensure the battery is entirely locked in. 3. **Turn on with the one-touch trigger**. The one-touch trigger allows you to have a greater range of motion for applying the ANPM to various muscle groups. Power on by pushing the one-touch trigger in all the way, releasing when massaging. 4. **Apply the massaging tip to muscles**. It’s very important to have the All New turned on prior to applying to the body. If you turn on the All New while it’s on your muscles (or worse, a bone) you can cause yourself injury. Use the ANPM to massage sore muscles, trigger points, and more, applying more pressure where needed. 5. **Switch out your tip**. If you’re interested in using a [hot or cold tip](https://timtam.tech/collections/massager-tips/products/hot-cold-tip-bundle) for your therapy, start by removing the battery and install your hot tip or pull your cold tip from its cooling location, screwing it on to the tip of your All New.  6. **Once treatment is completed, turn off the All New** using one-touch trigger 7. **Store in the carrying case** for easy transport, protection, and compact storage 8. **When it’s time to charge your All New, be careful not to overcharge**. Much like a laptop that you leave plugged in overnight, the battery can fry and become dependent on the power source. To ensure the longevity of your All New, charge sparingly and only when necessary. How it Works ------------ ### How Your Body Benefits from Percussive Massage  The All New Power Massager delivers 2500 percussive pulses to your body per minute. On the surface, it can appear that the All new is simply a machine designed for beating you up, but these percussive movements provide a variety of benefits to the human body Percussive massage increases blood flow to sore and aching muscle areas. This increased blood flow delivers oxygen and necessary nutrients to your muscles following a tough workout or vigorous exercise. These nutrients are particularly important because working out causes microtears (or microtraumas) in your muscles. While the term ‘microtrauma’ sounds extremely dangerous, microtraumas are the entire reason we are able to become stronger. When lifting weights and working out, your muscles experience both [eccentric and concentric muscle contraction](https://courses.lumenlearning.com/fitness/chapter/types-of-muscle-contractions-isotonic-and-isometric/). During eccentric muscle contraction - like when you’re lowering the barbell during a bicep curl -  your muscle strands are extending while bearing weight, causing tiny tears in your smallest muscle fibers.  The good news is that these tears heal themselves. But these microtears are a huge portion of the reason you are sore after a workout. It’s a necessary evil because once these microtears heal - in part due to the oxygen and nutrients sent to them through the blood - the new muscle is stronger than ever before. Percussive massage encourages blood flow to these muscle areas, which in turn helps speed up recovery times. But that’s not all. Percussive massage also helps relax thickened connective tissue and fascia after a workout. [Thickened tissue and fascia](http://runningsolegirl.com/what-is-percussive-massage/) is the reason you feel stiff after working out. Massage helps relax these parts of your body, restoring a full range of motion sooner than without massage. Because of these incredible benefits, the ANPM is a great tool for aiding in the treatment of many disorders commonly experienced by athletes, including: * Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) * Muscle Soreness * Shin Splints * Muscle Spasms and Cramps * Bursitis * Tendonitis Additionally, there is evidence that the ANPM could be beneficial for a variety of other muscle and tissue related disorders that cause pain. If you’re interested in using the All New for medical reasons, we recommend consulting your doctor prior to use. The All New Power massager - equipped with a one-touch trigger, more power, and less noise than ever before - is the next big thing in modern recovery.
