The fact that fascia guns are good for human health is something that many friends know, but in fact, its hidden harm is what we need to focus on. It is precisely because many people do not understand the harm of inferior fascia guns, coupled with the large number of inferior products in the fascia gun industry, that they have problems such as bruising and muscle swelling after using fascia guns. What is the harm of the fascia gun to the human body? Today, the physiotherapist will tell you about this problem, help you fully understand the fascia gun, and give a solution to the problem of purchasing the fascia gun that everyone is prone to make mistakes, I hope this article can make you gain something.
Pictured above are some of the fascia gun styles I recently reviewed.
1. What are the dangers of fascia guns to the human body?
What are the dangers of fascia guns to the human body? In fact, the use of high-quality fascia guns will not bring harm to the human body, but there are too many unprofessional and inferior fascia guns on the market, which often have problems such as vibration, unstable power, poor hitting accuracy, etc., and the massage experience is very bad, and it is easy to damage muscles! The following picture is the opinion of a professional athlete:
The hazards of the fascia gun are mainly as follows:
Hazard 1: Causes muscle swelling and bruising
Fascia guns with low professionalism often have problems such as uneven vibration frequency, unstable hitting force, and drifting hitting trajectory, which are easy to damage ** and muscles when used, resulting in problems such as bruising and muscle soreness.
Hazard 2: 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.
Hazard 3: 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.
2. 4 reasons to reveal the truth that fascia guns harm the body
What are the dangers of fascia guns to the human body? The above has sorted out these three harms for everyone, so that many people have suffered, and the fascia gun was originally a massage tool to relax the body, why does it bring harm? Let's take a look at the statistical chart of the causes of muscle injury summarized by this authoritative organization to have a clear understanding, and I have also summarized the main causes of muscle injury into the following four points, so that you can further understand.
Reason 1: Buy a fascia gun that is too cheap
In order to compete in the market, many fascia gun businesses have launched low-cost products, but this kind of low-cost fascia gun is actually at the expense of quality in exchange, and cost-effective products are completely different, they will use inferior bearings, brush motors, ** batteries and other components to make fascia guns, product failure rate is very high, during the use of the impact is prone to light and heavy, hit trajectory easy to offset and other problems, it is easy to damage muscles.
Reason 2: Blindly trust big names in Europe and the United States
Many friends will blindly admire European and American brands, but they don't know that European and American brands are designed for the muscle characteristics of European and American fitness people at the beginning, and the parameters of the fascia gun do not match the muscle characteristics of the Chinese people. In fact, China's professional fascia gun brand has developed rapidly, whether it is professional technical strength or material selection, it is not inferior to European and American brands, but also more matching the muscle characteristics of Chinese people, and more cost-effective.
Reason 3: Follow the trend to start with Internet celebrity brands
Nowadays, many friends blindly follow the trend to start the fascia gun after watching the Internet celebrity bringing goods and celebrity endorsements, but this kind of brand does not have any professional and technical precipitation, and will not put a lot of time, manpower and material resources on the optimization and tuning of the core parameters of the fascia gun such as hitting accuracy, hitting strength, amplitude, etc., but is keen on marketing and publicity, so the fascia gun not only has poor performance, but also is easy to damage muscles.
Reason 4: Use a fascia gun that is not suitable for your own muscle state
Under the influence of various factors such as region, age, food culture, etc., everyone has unique muscle characteristics, in such an environment, we need to choose a fascia gun that suits their muscle characteristics in order to achieve the ideal massage effect, if we ignore this point when buying a fascia gun, just blindly follow the trend to start with the products recommended by Internet celebrities and celebrities, it is very likely to buy a fascia gun that is not suitable for you, and cause muscle damage after use.
3. Six positions where the fascia gun should not be used
What are the dangers of fascia guns to the human body? In addition, if the fascia gun is not used in the right position, even if you use high-quality products, there is no massage effect, and even the same will cause physical damage.
1. Joints: Joints are also sensitive locations, and using a fascia gun on a joint is like hitting a wall with a joint, which is likely to cause joint damage.
2. Neck: There are a large number of cervical nerves and blood vessels on both sides of the neck, which are very sensitive and fragile, and if you are hit by a strong blow such as a fascia gun, it may cause nerve damage.
3. Head: The musculature of the head is very good, but there are many acupuncture points, if you use fascia ** to hit the head, it may cause brain **.
4. Thorax and abdomen: The chest and abdomen are all important organs such as the heart, lungs, and stomach, and if you use a fascia gun in the chest and abdomen, it may cause damage to internal organs.
5. Armpits: The armpit is densely packed with nerves and lymphatic tissues, and if you use fascia**, it may cause injury and inflammation or nerve damage.
6. Arteries: If large blood vessels such as the carotid artery and femoral artery are hit by the fascia**, blood clots may form, which can lead to ischemic stroke.
Fourth, how to stay away from harm? Teach the eight ** purchase methods
What are the dangers of fascia guns to the human body? Since the harm of fascia gun mainly stems from improper selection, as long as we guarantee that we can buy a professional and high-quality fascia gun, we can effectively stay away from its harm. However, there are many brands of fascia guns on the market, and it is not easy to choose a professional and high-quality fascia gun.
Method 1: 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.
Method 2: Distinguish between the good and bad of mini guns and big guns
The mini fascia gun is small in size, light in weight, easy to carry, but the performance is average, only suitable for some female users with light and thin muscles, and for sports enthusiasts and male users, we still choose the big gun is more suitable, the big gun has excellent performance, and can more fully meet everyone's massage needs.
Method 3: Buy a fascia gun with a deep enough amplitude
If the amplitude of the fascia gun you choose is too small, the massage strength of the fascia gun is difficult to reach the deep muscles and fascia, so the amplitude of the fascia gun you choose is at least 8mm or more, if you are a person with exercise habits, it is best to choose a product with an amplitude of more than 10mm, which can more fully meet everyone's massage needs.
Method 4: It is best to choose a brushless motor
It is more recommended that you choose the fascia gun equipped with a brushless motor, this motor has better performance, better running stability, not only longer service life, but also can bring a better massage experience to the user, and the brush motor is low cost, it is a low-cost fascia gun is commonly used, this motor has poor stability, low safety, serious heating problems, and it is easy to damage muscles when used.
Method 5: Choose a style with many gears
The fascia gun has a wealth of gears to meet the massage needs of different life scenarios, and the mainstream fascia gun will be equipped with 3-5 massage gears, but the very good fascia gun can also be equipped with as many as eight gears.
Method 6: Choose the thrust that suits you
If the thrust of the fascia gun you choose is relatively small, it is difficult to fully massage and relax the muscles and fascia, and the thrust is too strong, the risk of muscle damage of the fascia gun will be relatively high, and the fascia gun with a thrust between 10-20kg is more suitable for ordinary people.
Method 7: Choose products with good compatibility
Everyone's muscle state is different, different ways of working, exercise habits caused by muscle strain are different, as well as muscle content, proportion, resistance and other different, choose a fascia gun with poor compatibility, the product is difficult to match the user's muscle characteristics, not only the massage effect is poor, but also easy to cause muscle damage.
Method 8: You must not buy a low-cost fascia gun
Don't use a fascia gun that is too low, because the quality of this kind of fascia gun is poor, the workmanship of the product is also very poor, and there are often problems such as loud noise, weak power, shrinking battery life, shaking hands, etc., and the muscle injury rate is generally high!
The above methods are enough for everyone to choose a good product, and there are many brands of fascia guns on the market today, and they all advertise that their own products do not hurt muscles, in fact, most of them are false propaganda, and muscle damage problems often occur when actually used. Therefore, I suggest that you refer to the following comprehensive performance and damage index evaluation results of the fascia gun released by an authoritative organization, and choose products with real excellent performance and not easy to damage muscles according to the data. Next, I will recommend a few brands that I have used well:

Entry-level brands can consider Xiaomi,They also have multiple models of fascia guns, which are a good choice among portable fascia guns, although the performance and experience can't be compared with the big guns, but they are still good among the small guns! I hope to optimize and upgrade the core technologies such as hitting accuracy and stability!
