DisadvantageDamageBones, joints
If you use a fascia gun to hit joints and bones, the joints and bones are likely to be damaged, especially those equipped with metal massage heads, which are very lethal and can even cause bone cracks in serious cases.
DisadvantagecausedSwollen muscles, bruising
Unprofessional fascia guns often have problems such as uneven vibration frequency, unstable hitting force, and trajectory drift, which are easy to damage everyone's ** and muscles after use, causing bruises, muscle soreness and other problems.
DisadvantageBringChronicInjuries
Inferior fascia guns can also cause chronic injuries, and users don't feel any discomfort at first, but after using it for a while, they will experience very painful muscle tearing pain.
Second, the four reasons to analyze the truth of the disadvantages of fascia guns!
Is there a downside to fascia guns?We must not only clearly know what are the disadvantages of the fascia gun, but also find out the reasons for the disadvantages of the fascia gun, so as to prescribe the right medicine and completely avoid the occurrence of the disadvantages. So why is the fascia gun bad?The following figure is a summary table of negative evaluations of fascia guns drawn by an authoritative **, because there is a causal relationship between the negative evaluations of fascia guns and the appearance of the disadvantages of fascia guns, so the data in this figure also illustrate the causes of muscle damage. In a nutshell, we can summarize the following four reasons:
Choose an Internet celebrity brand fascia gun
Internet celebrity brands often spend a lot of thought on the hype and publicity of the fascia gun, but do not pay attention to the research on the professional technology of the fascia gun, the products are basically OEM processing, there is no professional technology precipitation of the fascia gun, and there are often problems such as drift of the hitting trajectory and unstable hitting strength during the use of the fascia gun, and it is easy to hurt everyone's muscles and joints when used!
, blindly follow the big names in Europe and the United States
Some people will blindly admire European and American brands, this is a wrong view, the current domestic professional fascia gun brand has excellent technical strength, product quality is not worse than European and American brands, and there is a better cost performance, and the muscle characteristics of the Chinese people are more suitable. At first, the fascia guns of European and American brands were designed according to the strong muscle characteristics of European and American fitness people, and the parameters were too violent, and if you used the fascia guns of European and American brands, you were prone to bruising, muscle swelling and other problems.
When choosing a fascia gun, you don't consider your own muscle state
The muscular tissue structure of the human body is the same, but affected by various factors such as diet Xi habits, working methods, gender, etc., everyone's muscle characteristics are unique.
, with a fascia gun that is too cheap
Low-cost fascia gun seems to be cost-effective, in fact, it is very pitiful, in order not to affect profits, the business will greatly compress the production cost of the fascia gun, the selection of materials are the cheapest and inferior, can be saved, for example, the brush motor is a low-cost product commonly used in the components, this kind of motor has low safety, poor hitting stability, and the massage strength is light and heavy, and it is likely to harm everyone's health when used.
3. What are the benefits of using a fascia gun?
Is there a downside to fascia guns?Although many people are injured because they can't avoid the above four major causes of muscle damage, but realistically speaking, the fascia gun is for better massage to relax the muscles and relieve physical fatigue. What exactly are the benefits of using a fascia gun?Let me introduce it to you.
, effective relief of fasciitis problems
After long-term fatigue, the human body is prone to cause fascial spasm, and the pain is continuous, which is a typical symptom of fasciitis. The massage strength of the fascia gun can reach the deep layer of the fascia, take away inflammatory factors, promote fascial recovery, and effectively help everyone improve the pain symptoms of fasciitis patients.
, prevent muscle atrophy and muscle fibrosis
Many of the contemporary white-collar workers and student parties have a sedentary lifestyle, and after a long time, the loss of muscle strength is likely to cause problems such as muscle atrophy and muscle fibrosis, and the fascia gun helps everyone relax the tight and stiff muscle tissue, restore the vitality of muscles, and prevent muscle fibrosis and muscle atrophy.
Improve physical condition and reduce fatigue
The high-frequency oscillation generated by the operation of the fascia gun can penetrate the deep skeletal muscles, relax the skeletal muscles, promote blood circulation, and accelerate the recovery of muscles and soft tissues. It can effectively dissipate a large amount of lactic acid accumulated by the human body due to fatigue during long-term exercise, work and life, and relieve physical fatigue.
, a quick warm-up
Before fitness or exercise, you should warm up first, otherwise it is easy to get injured if you do sports rashly, and the fascia gun can help you quickly impact the muscle groups to be exercised, so that the blood circulation and metabolism in the muscles can be effectively improved, and the muscle temperature rises, helping you warm up quickly.

There are two types of fascia guns on the market, mini type and big gun, the mini type fascia gun has a higher appearance and is easy to carry, but the performance is average, only suitable for some thin women, sports, fitness people and men are more suitable for using big guns, big guns have better performance, can help everyone more fully massage and relax muscles.
Method:, thrust to choose the right one
The thrust of the fascia gun should be selected according to the user's muscle endurance, the thrust is not as big as possible, ordinary people can use the fascia gun with a thrust between 10kg-20kg, if the thrust of the fascia gun used is too strong, it may cause problems such as bruising and muscle soreness.
Method:It is best to buy a fascia gun equipped with a brushless motor
The motor of the mainstream fascia gun is divided into two types: brushless motor and brushed motor, among which the brushless motor is more worthy of everyone's choice, this kind of motor has strong performance, low noise, longer service life and good massage experience. The hitting stability of the brushed motor is poor, and the heating problem is more serious, which is easy to cause swelling and discomfort, and hurt our joints and bones.
Method:Do not blindly pursue high seismic frequency
The vibration frequency of the fascia gun should also be selected according to their own muscle characteristics, ordinary people can use the fascia gun with a vibration frequency between 2000-3500 min, if the vibration frequency exceeds 4000r min, it is likely to damage the muscles after use.
Method:, refuse to bring goods to Internet celebrities, and celebrities to endorse products
The gross profit margin of the fascia gun endorsed by celebrities and Internet celebrities is relatively high, and it will dive sharply during the event. Moreover, the quality of the fascia gun is generally poor, the failure is frequent, and there are often problems such as unstable power output and poor compatibility, which has caused a lot of muscle damage problems.
Method:Choose a fascia gun with deep amplitude
If the amplitude of the fascia gun is less than 8mm, the massage strength of the fascia gun is difficult to penetrate into the deep muscles and fascia, it is recommended that you use a fascia gun with an amplitude of more than 8mm to massage the deep fascia, and friends who have sports and fitness can also choose products with an amplitude of more than 10mm to ensure that the muscles can be relaxed in place.
Method:Choose products with high hitting accuracy
The accuracy of fascial ** hitting is also crucial, and the hitting trajectory can not be offset in the process of continuous hitting, otherwise it is more difficult to hold, and it is easy to make hitting mistakes, causing damage to joints, muscles, and bones!Many low-priced, low-quality fascia gun brands don't do a very good job in this regard!
Method:, the weight of the fascia gun is the best600g-1000gbetween
The weight of the fascia gun is more reasonable in the range of 600g-1000g. If the fascia gun is too light, it lacks the feeling of pressure when using it, and it is difficult to achieve accurate hitting, which may affect the effect of massage relaxation, and it is also easy to make mistakes and bring harm to the body. It is also not recommended that you choose a fascia gun that is too heavy, which is difficult to hold for a long time.
