I’d have several thoughts:
1: The Globus would always be better than a lousy masseur- usually bruising is the result of lazy clowns who just stick an elbow in and leave it for a while rather than doing the work required.
2: Massage, when done by an expert, will probably be superior in removing waste products and comparable in re-setting tone.
Massage can be doubled up post training, with manual post training and Globus at home last thing at night (preferably separated by 4 hrs) .
3: Massage will be far more expensive than a Globus unit in fairly short order.
4: There is no reason not to use both if you have access to both. I created a chart showing the priority of therapy options, based on budget etc., which you can find in several of my products. most people will never have the budget to get past 2 or 3 manual therapy sessions per week, let alone twice a day, every day, but they could do the manual work in the order suggested as far as they can and fill in as much of the rest as time permits with the Globus.
5: Deep tissue bruises caused by trauma (football etc) respond very well to the Globus treatment protocols in my experience and this could not be done as early post trauma with any sort of manual therapy.
Anyone else with thoughts about this?
