Life is always full of pressure, no matter for high intense of work, or you often have soreness after sitting in the office for a long time, or feel tight muscles after exercising. If you don’t want to spent too much money on masseurs, then Electric Fascia massage gun can be a economical way to use it.
How does the massage gun works
Muscles have a certain thickness. Generally, the force of hands massage can only reach the surface of the muscle. By contrast, massage gun reciprocates and vibrates through the motor to generate a higher amplitude frequency or number of beats to transmit the force to the deeper muscles. As a result, massage gun can quickly relax muscles and fascia by vibrating at high speed and high frequency. The theory is roughly as follows:
♦Increase pain threshold
♦Help muscle relaxation
♦Increase tissue temperature & muscle blood flow
Increase pain threshold
Pain is a sensory signal from the nervous system. When the intensity of the signal exceeds a certain value, called the pain threshold, the brain will feel pain. The lower of pain threshold means you feel pain more, the higher of pain threshold the less pain you feel.

As a result, massage gun can quickly relax muscles and fascia by vibrating at high speed and high frequency. The theory is roughly as follows:
Help muscle relaxation
Vibration is a kind of sensory stimulation. This kind of sensation stimulates the body’s proprioceptive receptors, produces an inhibitory signal, and causes a reflex reaction that relaxes the muscles.
Increase tissue temperature & muscle blood flow
Massage gun is used to hit the sore and uncomfortable parts, but do you know what tissue you use to relax with the massage gun? In addition to muscles, massage guns can also be used to relax the “fascia.”
Fascia is a special kind of connective tissue.
It is used to connect, fill and wrap various tissues and organs. Therefore, the fascia actually needs to be properly relaxed, but the fascia is not easy to palpate, and a general masseur may easy to find and massage the deep fascia. In fact, using a vibration massage gun can massage the fascia more effectively than masseurs, and achieve the effect of relaxing the fascia.
Deal with trigger point
Trigger Points means tight bandages located in the muscles, as the name suggests, the points are prone to intense pain. Not only you feel pain when pressing trigger points, sometimes the pain will expand to multiple points of pain. And massage gun is considered to be very suitable for dealing with trigger points.
People who are not suitable for massage guns
♦Elderly:
When you older, the aging bone has reduced mineral content, and is prone to osteoporosis, so the bones become more brittle and may break more easily. it’s
not bear the hit of massage gun.
♦Osteoporosis:
The massage gun force exceeds the general assembly fracture
♦People with muscle tissue injuries:
Using massage gun may boost tissue inflammation.
♦Heart disease, patient with heart rhythm device, Pregnancy, cancer patient :
Need to use with caution, we recommend asking a professional or doctor before doing any massages.
Three areas should avoid
-
Joints, tendons, ligaments, small muscle areas
Like knee joints, elbow joints, or fingers, toes, etc., these parts usually have fewer muscles. In addition, blood vessels and nerves are also closer to the skin surface. The high-frequency vibration of massage gun can easily cause damage.
-
Areas with more blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic tissue
Including the back of the hands, inner thighs, chest, etc. If you use massage gun on these areas, you may not be aware for any potential injure,it is applied to parts with more blood vessels and nerves, it may be more difficult to detect injuries and rupture of blood vessels without realizing it.
In addition, it is not recommended for people with poor peripheral sensation, diabetics, abnormal blood clotting function, or people who is taking anticoagulant drugs.
-
Near the cervical and spine
There are more nerves near the cervical spine and spine areas, which can cause more serious injuries, if you are not careful, just like the case mentioned above.
Who is sutible to use
- After exercise
- Athletes
- Sedentary office workers, most office workers are sedentary and confined to their workspace, often in a seated position. Over time this behaviour can lead to increased health risks including metabolic syndrome
- Suitable for self-service and lazy use
Need to know when buying massage gun
Weight
Massage gun should be to heavy, it is better under 4lb fo better self service by one hand, so that you have another hand free to do other thing.
Vibration speed
You can see vibration speed on the massage gun marked as “vibration times/min”, or how many times per second. Most experiments on vibration massage indicate that the effective vibration massage frequency is between 30 and 50 Hz (30 to 50 vibrations per second), which is 1800 to 3000 revolutions per minute when converted into rotational speed. The speed design of most massage guns on the market also falls within the range of 1800 to 3000 revolutions per minute.
Everyone may have different feeling with the same vibration speed. So is not faster is better. Finding the suitable speed is more important then focus on speed.
Vibration intensity
The vibration intensity is the strength of the massage gun. The intensity is related to the depth of the vibration, and the depth is related to the amplitude of the vibration. The amplitude is simply vibrates up and down. Different brand of massage guns have different amplitudes, ranging from 10 mm to 16 mm. User’s strength of pressing will also affect the depth of the vibration massage.
Types of replaceable massage heads
Most massage guns are equipped with ball massage heads that are suitable for relaxing major muscle groups, but if you want to relax other musculature such as arms and shoulders, ball massage heads are not so suitable. Some massage guns are equipped with a variety of massage heads, in addition to different sizes, there are also different shapes of massage heads for replacement. The more types of massage heads, the more suitable massage parts.
Summary
If you are interested in buying a massage gun, you can list several ideal massage gun conditions based on the above points, such as light weight or low noise, plus your budget. I believe this will make it easier to choose the one you like. You don’t have to buy famous brand like Theragun or Hypervolt for a massage gun, sometimes just check the function and basic equipment then you will find a suitable one for you
