Precautions when using massage gun

What should I do if my body still feels tense after doing stretching exercises? It does not matter! Leave it to the massage gun! The fascia gun, also known as the vibration massage gun, uses the principle of vibration to relax the deep muscles and fascia that cannot be touched with bare hands. After everyone's awareness of sports is high, there are a lot of massage guns, but there are still many people who have never used a fascia gun who don't know how to use it correctly to relax and release stiff muscles!

The principle of the massage gun: Human muscles have a certain thickness. If you just massage with your hands, unless the force is very strong, it is difficult to press the deep muscles. The fascia 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 the fascia gun to achieve the relaxation effect.

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

1. Attention tract size

The reason why the massage gun is designed with multiple sections is to adjust the size of the force. There are many muscle groups in the human body, including large muscle groups and small muscle groups. When the muscle group is too strong, it may cause injury. In addition, it should be noted that the massage time should not be too long, but it will not relax for too long, and it will also put a greater burden on the muscles.

2. Pay attention to the timing of use

Sometimes muscle soreness can not be cured by massage. The muscle inflammation caused by overuse is not suitable for using the fascia gun. It should be relieved of the muscle strength first, and ice/hot compresses according to the instructions of professional coaches are the best solution.

3. Pay attention to the parts used

In addition to the large and small muscle groups mentioned above, if you need to use them at the joints and the head, you should pay more attention. The nerve distribution in these places is relatively dense. If you press the wrong place or use it improperly, it may cause danger. Severely paralyzed. Therefore, when using these parts, it is recommended to ask professional instructors for the best way to use them. Also, at present, many fascia guns clearly prohibit the use of fascia guns on sensitive parts of the human body in the instruction manual, 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.

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. When the massage part turns from sore to soothing, don’t overuse it. If you feel unwell after the massage, please seek medical attention immediately for your own safety.

Stretching and stretching are still very necessary: in fact, the best way to relax is to stretch muscles, which is the most effective training! In each training, when resting between sets, it is best to do a Lajin movement, which not only moderately relaxes the muscles, but also makes the lines look better!
