Description

The G5 GBM Professional Portable Massager is our most powerful hand-held device. It incorporates the powerful massage action of our stand-mounted G5 Massage Machines into a small, compact, hand-held unit - a massager small enough on the outside to fit in a gym bag, but big enough on the inside to consistently deliver a powerful, deep-penetrating massage action. The G5 GBM is ideal for the athletic trainers or athletes on the go! Comes with our Professional Portable Applicator Package. G5 Travel Bag sold seperately. The G5 GBM massager is beneficial to anyone who competes, works out, or is involved in strenuous work. Before an activity, use it to enhance flexibility, increase range-of-motion, and reduce the risk of muscle spasms, strains or contusions. After exertion, rely on the G5 GBM to accelerate the healing process, to reduce pain and swelling by flushing out lactic acid buildup in the muscles, and to relieve muscle pain caused by work and stress. Unit Advantages: Portable device with the same quality and durability as our larger models Ergonomical grip points for convenient one or two handed operation. Variable speed control: 15 - 55 cycles per second
