1. How to use the fascia gun correctly?
How to use a fascia gun correctly? The fascia gun has an excellent muscle relaxation effect, but you must pay attention to how to use it when using the fascia gun! Otherwise, even if it is a professional and easy-to-use fascia gun, it will cause damage to the body if it is used in the wrong way. Here's how to use the fascia gun:
1. Pay attention to the texture and direction of the muscles
In the process of the fascia gun, you need to move along the texture of the muscle and fascia gun, and you can't blindly hit the pain point, which may not be the root of the lesion.
2. Appropriate strength
The frequency of hitting the fascia gun is already very high, so you don't need to use too much force when using the fascia gun, as long as you slightly force the massage head of the fascia gun against the muscle position, you can achieve the effect of massage.
3. Move slowly
The blow of the fascia gun in the same position should not be too long, and it is recommended that everyone apply a certain amount of force to move slowly. The total massage time of the same area should be best controlled between 3-5 minutes, and the intensity can be gradually used from low to high according to the different hitting positions, and it is not recommended to choose the maximum intensity at the beginning.
4. Replace the massage head appropriately
Fascia guns are generally equipped with 3-6 massage heads, and different body parts should be equipped with different massage heads to facilitate muscle relaxation and achieve better results.
2. Pay attention to the three disadvantages of fascia guns
How to use a fascia gun correctly? Learning the correct way to use the fascia gun does not guarantee that we will not be hurt when we really use the fascia gun, there are many brand styles in the market today, but there is a big gap in quality, among which there are many unprofessional inferior products, they generally have inaccurate hitting accuracy, poor compatibility, and uneven vibration frequency, etc., it is easy to have disadvantages when used. The picture below is a fitness trainer's opinion on the disadvantages of fascia guns.
There are three main disadvantages of fascia guns:
Disadvantage 1: It can cause muscle swelling and bruising
Unprofessional fascia guns generally have problems such as unstable hitting force, uneven vibration frequency, and drift of hitting trajectory, if you use such a fascia gun, ** and muscles are easily injured, and there are problems such as bruising and muscle soreness.
Disadvantage 2: Damage to joints and bones
If you use the fascia gun on joints and bones, it is likely to cause physical injury, especially for the kind of fascia gun equipped with a metal massage head, it has strong lethality, and it is easy to cause physical injury when used normally, and it will cause bone cracking in serious cases.
Disadvantage 3: Brings chronic damage
Long-term use of inferior fascia gun to help massage themselves is also prone to chronic injury, the user has no obvious abnormal feeling at first, and after using it for a long time, the user will have a sharp pain like a muscle tear.
Three or four reasons to unlock the truth about the disadvantages of the fascia gun!
How to use a fascia gun correctly? Since there are disadvantages to using a fascia gun, how can we deal with it? First of all, we need to figure out the real reasons for the bad of the fascia gun, the following figure is the cause of the muscle damage of the fascia gun released by professional institutions, according to the data analysis, it can be found that the reasons for the bad of the fascia gun are mainly the following four points.
Reason 1: Superstitious European and American brands
Many people blindly admire European and American brands, and often start with European and American brands without thinking, but in fact, the technical strength of domestic professional brands is also very strong, and the quality of the fascia gun is comparable to that of European and American brands, and it also has a higher cost performance and is more suitable for the body type of Chinese people. The big brands in Europe and the United States are mainly designed for the body type of the European and American fitness crowds, and the setting of various parameters is stronger for the Chinese people, so everyone who uses the fascia gun of European and American brands is prone to problems such as bruising and muscle swelling.
Reason 2: Use a fascia gun that is too cheap and of inferior quality
*Fascia guns under 300 yuan are basically IQ taxes. Because the production cost of this kind of product is very low, the selected component materials are the cheapest and inferior kind, this kind of low-cost fascia gun commonly used component brush motor as an example, this kind of motor has poor hitting stability, working noise, if you want to buy this kind of motor fascia gun cheaply, it is easy to damage muscles, cause bruising, muscle soreness and other adverse reactions.
Reason 3: Use fascia guns of cross-border brands and Internet celebrity brands
Although the fascia gun is well packaged, the products are actually OEM processing, and there is a lack of professional and technical strength to optimize and adjust more than 100 core parameters such as uniform stability of the product's vibration frequency, hitting intensity, and hitting accuracy, but it actually feels very bad to use, and there is a high risk of muscle damage!
Reason 4: Use a fascia gun that does not match the state of your own muscles
Different people and different parts of the muscle state are different, so everyone should also choose products that adapt to their muscle state when choosing a fascia gun, many people do not take this into account, just blindly follow the trend to start the so-called celebrity endorsement, Internet celebrity recommended products, as a result, the fascia gun bought is not suitable for themselves, it is easy to have muscle damage problems.
4. What are the benefits of using a fascia gun?
How to use a fascia gun correctly? If fascia guns are bad, why do we use fascia guns at all? This is because the fascia gun has a variety of benefits that are difficult to match with other massage products. The benefits of fascia guns are mainly as follows.
Benefit 1: It has the effect of reducing physical fatigue
After a long period of exercise and work, the body is prone to obvious fatigue, and the fascia gun can help users reduce muscle tension, promote lactate metabolism, improve muscle soreness, and help everyone relieve physical fatigue.
Benefit 2: Help everyone warm up quickly
It is very necessary to prepare for warm-up before exercise, otherwise it is likely to be unnecessarily injured if you start exercising rashly, and the fascia gun can help you quickly relax your muscles, promote blood flow in your muscles, increase muscle temperature, and have the effect of muscle stretching and rapid warm-up to avoid injuries caused by rash exercise.
Benefit 3: Relieves fasciitis
When suffering from fasciitis, the patient will continue to feel pain, and the high-frequency vibration of the fascia gun can know the deep fascia, help everyone promote the recovery of the fascia, take away the inflammatory factors in the fascia, and help the fasciitis patient relieve the pain.
Benefit 4: It can improve muscle strain
The fascia gun also has a relieving effect on muscle strain, such as the problem of lumbar muscle strain, the fascia gun can impact the lumbar muscle**, promote metabolism and blood circulation in the lumbar muscle tissue, and can effectively reduce lumbar pain.
Benefit 5: Prevent muscle atrophy
People who are sedentary are more likely to suffer from muscle fibrosis, muscle atrophy and other problems, and the fascia gun can relax tight muscle tissue, accelerate blood circulation and metabolism of muscle tissue, restore muscle vitality, and effectively prevent muscle atrophy, muscle fibrosis and other problems.

Fifth, the purchase of fascia gun is very important, be sure to learn eight skills
How to use a fascia gun correctly? I believe that everyone can see that in addition to learning the correct way to use the fascia gun, it is also important to learn to buy a professional and high-quality fascia gun. So what can you do to choose a high-quality fascia gun? The eight best buying skills to be shared below are summarized by me on the basis of professional cognition and years of practical experience, and you can refer to them.
Tip 1: Choose a style with a wide range of gears.
The fascia gun has a wealth of gears to meet the massage needs of different life scenarios, and the mainstream fascia gun generally has 3-5 gears, but the very good fascia gun can also have as many as eight gears.
Tip 2: Use a fascia gun with deep amplitude
If the amplitude of the fascia gun is relatively small, it is difficult to convey the massage force to the deep muscles and fascia, it is recommended that you use a fascia gun with an amplitude of more than 8mm, and if you are a friend with sports Xi, you can also choose a fascia gun with an amplitude of more than 10mm, which can more fully meet everyone's massage needs.
Tip 3: It is more important for the thrust to suit you
If the thrust is too small, the massage effect will be poor, and the thrust is too strong, so the risk of muscle injury of the fascia gun will be relatively high, and the fascia gun with a thrust between 10-20kg is more suitable for ordinary people.
Tip 4: Distinguish between mini guns and big guns
The mini fascia gun is small in size, light in weight, and easy to carry, but the performance of the fascia gun is average, and it is only suitable for some women with light muscle layers.
Tip 5: Stay away from low-priced products
Don't use a fascia gun that is too low, because the publicity materials of this kind of fascia gun are very poor, and there are generally problems such as weak power, shrinking battery life, loud noise, shaking hands, etc., and the muscle injury rate is also high!
Tip 6: Avoid using metal massage heads
Many fascia gun merchants will use the metal massage head as the selling point of the product to make a big impact, claiming that this massage head has a better effect, but in fact, the lethality of this metal fascia gun is very large, if it touches the bones and joints, it is easy to cause joint damage, and even cause bone cracks.
Tip 7: Choose a product with good compatibility
Everyone's muscle state is different, different ways of working, exercise Xi caused by muscle strain is different, as well as muscle content, proportion, resistance to blow, etc. are different, choose poor compatibility of fascia gun, the product is difficult to match the user's muscle characteristics, not only poor massage effect, but also easy to cause muscle damage.
Tip 8: Push the brushless motor
We prefer the fascia gun equipped with a brushless motor, because this type of motor has better performance, excellent operation stability, and longer service life, while the common brush motor is used in low-cost fascia guns, with low safety, poor stability, and serious heating problems, which will not only affect the life of the fascia gun, but also easily damage the muscles.
How to use a fascia gun correctly? This is the end of the knowledge sharing on this issue, if you want to play the muscle relaxation effect of the fascia gun, not only to understand the method of using the fascia gun, but also to master the skills of fascia gun selection, I hope that through the popular science Xi of this article, everyone can buy a professional and high-quality fascia gun, and stay away from inferior products that will hurt the muscles!
