For most, G5 massage treatments are synonym with its effectiveness in skin tightening & reducing cellulite without surgical intervention. BUT did you know that these treatments are just as famous globally for its effectiveness in the manipulation of soft tissue, treating the nervous and muscular systems and accelerating the blood and lymphatic flow in the body? Even more astounding is that many athletes in various sport arenas make use of G5 treatments before and after events?
Let’s take a deep dive into the numerous benefits and applications of G5 treatments!
CELLULITE REDUCTION
G5’s invigorating vibrational massage is among the most effective non-surgical treatment methods for both tightening the skin and body as well as the rapid elimination and appearance of cellulite by stimulating and improving both the circulatory and lymphatic systems in the body.
G5 massage is especially preferred because it can be performed on different areas of the body where excess fat is stored. It is especially beneficial in treating stubborn fatty tissues in the hips, abdomen, upper legs, arms and buttocks and reduce the appearance of cellulite as well as interrupting the process that contributes to cellulite formulation in the body.
It is important to commit to a minimum of six to eight treatments until the desired results have been achieved and then to return for monthly maintenance treatments. Whilst G5 is excellent for both the circulatory and lymphatic systems of the body, reducing cellulite, draining fluids, waste and toxins from the body’s tissues and detoxification, it is not a stand-alone weight loss treatment and must be combined with exercise and a healthy eating lifestyle.
IMPROVES CIRCULATION
G5 treatments applies the principle of physical vibration to stimulate and improve both circulatory and lymphatic functions in the body. The circulatory system is responsible for bringing fresh, oxygen & nutrient rich blood to the area that is being treated with the goal of maintenance, repair and assisting in growth of the body’s tissues. The presence of additional oxygen and nutrients improve the quality of the skin, tissue and muscles in the treatment area.
The lymphatic system is part of the body’s immune system. Within the lymphatic system, a type of white blood cell and other immune cells are produced. These cells ‘hunt’ and destroy invaders such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi that may be present in the body.
Unlike the body’s circulatory system that relies on a central pump (the heart), the lymphatic system does not have its own pump. This is exactly the reason why G5 treatments are so effective in assisting lymph movement stimulation as it assists with the removal of debris, waste & toxins.
PRE- & POST EVENT SPORTS MASSAGE
Athlete’s performance can greatly benefit from pre- and post-event G5 treatments. Pre-event benefits include assisting to prepare the body to respond do the demands of increased activity, facilitate optimum muscle performance, improving contractibility, flexibility, maximum range of movement, oxygen accessibility and preventing injury. Ideally to be executed 30 – 60 minutes before an event.
Post event G5 massage can be performed from 30 minutes up to 48 hours after intense exercise. Post event massage aims to increase the body’s rate of recovery by reducing inflammation in the muscles and restoring mobility.

G5 treatments are not recommended for people with certain health conditions, such as pregnant women, women who have recently given birth, breastfeeding women, diabetes patients who have poor blood sugar control, epilepsy patients, and cancer patients.
