The massage gun uses the principle of vibration to effectively push the muscles to the depths for slapping to achieve a relaxing effect. Also because of the frequency of vibration, it may take several hours to massage by hand, but it may only take a few minutes to use a massage gun to achieve a relaxing effect.

Although it is said that the massage gun can quickly achieve muscle relaxation, several points must be paid attention to when using it. If it is not used correctly, it may have adverse effects.

In addition, many massage guns in the instruction manual clearly prohibit the use of massage guns on sensitive parts of the human body, especially for girls.

4. Choose the right massage head

Not all the heads attached to the massage gun are suitable for use. It is recommended to use a round head for massage when the soreness is not clear. If you use a too pointed head and press the wrong place, it may cause sequelae. So when using other shapes of massage heads, be sure to ask professionals how to use them.

Ⅲ. How to use the massage gun

The massage time will be different for different parts. The recommended massage time for small muscle groups is 3 minutes, and the recommended massage time for large muscle groups is 5 minutes.
