Four or eight tricks teach you to choose professional products!
Does the Fascia Gun Really Work?If you can use a high-quality fascia gun that suits you, it really has a massage effect. The current market is so complex, how to choose products without making mistakes?Here are eight purchase tips to share with you, and it will not be too much of a problem to choose products with flexible use:
1. The deeper the amplitude, the better
The depth of the human fascia is at the position of 8-12mm, so the deeper the amplitude, the better the massage effect, to meet the basic massage needs, to choose 8mm products, if the perennial fitness crowd, it is best to choose more than 10mm products.
2. The weight should be appropriate
The weight of the fascia gun should be appropriate, the product is too heavy and the wrist will be sore after a long time, the product is too light and the massage effect is poor, it is recommended to choose a fascia gun in the range of 600g-1000g.
3. Decide whether you choose a big gun or a mini gun
Generally not much sports friends recommend using a mini gun, light weight, small, although the performance is average, but the general massage needs can be satisfied, often exercise and fitness friends choose a large gun is more suitable, strong performance, massage force!
4. Try to choose as little noise as possible
The noise should not be too loud, otherwise it will feel too noisy to use, which will affect the sense of experience and even affect the hearing.
5. Don't go overboard with thrust
The thrust is not the bigger the massage show, the better, but to suit yourself to be safe, generally choose 10 20kg thrust fascia gun is more reliable!
6. Choose a brand with a strong degree of professionalism
To choose the best professional and technical strength of the product, all aspects of the parameters have been optimized, quality assurance, high safety when using, more comfortable experience!
7. Reject the fascia gun of "custom gear".
Nowadays, many products produce custom gear fascia guns in the name of more humanization, which seems to be very humane, but in fact, the choice space is too large, and if you don't control the parameters well, it is easy to damage the body, so you can choose those three to ten gears of the fascia gun!
8. Avoid multi-functional fascia gun products
Nowadays, many brand products will design many functions in order to have a selling point, such as cold compress, hot compress, Bluetooth, connection APP, etc., in fact, there is no actual effect, the massage effect is not large, and too many functions will even affect the stability of the original product!
