When faced with the purchase of new sports massage tools, there is often a question, that is, will there be any bad side effects during use? And this kind of mentality often prevents people from trying new things, and the massage gun is the same. So is there any side effect of using the massage gun?
A side effect of the massage gun is the possibility of muscle damage. How to avoid the side effects of the massage gun mainly depends on whether to massage according to the massage gun user manual, the strength and duration of use during use, if the force of the fascia massage gun is too strong or the duration is too long, it is easy to cause muscle damage . The function of the fascia massage gun is to relieve muscle tension and relax the muscle fascia after exercise. If the fascia massage is too strong or lasts too long, it will cause muscle damage. Therefore, when using the fascia massage gun, be sure to follow the instructions in the massage gun user manual and pay attention to the following seven points:
A. The massage gun cannot hit the bones and joints, otherwise it is easy to cause damage due to excessive pressure on the bones and joints.
B. The massage gun cannot hit the superficial parts of the nerves and blood vessels, otherwise it is easy to cause damage.
C. The massage gun is not suitable for the head, the parts with relatively thin muscles, the underarms, the lower abdomen, the waist fossa, neck, etc. of important organs and aorta, otherwise it is easy to cause damage.
D. Using the massage gun does not mean that the longer the time the better, nor the more painful the more effective. Long-term use is likely to cause tissue damage, edema, etc. It is recommended to use a local fascia meridian for 30-60 seconds.
E. The massage gun should not be used for acute injuries, otherwise it will easily cause more interstitial fluid exudation and edema in local tissues.
F. Use a good quality massage gun. In the current massage gun market, there are many imitated, modified, and even fake massage guns, all of which are shoddy. Because of its vibration frequency and lack of protection mechanism, it is very easy to cause damage, and even cause cardiac arrest and shock in severe cases. There are also some hazards such as explosions caused by the use of inferior motors and batteries.
G. Follow the guidance of professionals. People with medical conditions or previous injuries should consult a physician, therapist or coach.
