Sports bloggers have recently received a lot of private messages from friends, many of whom are complaining that the muscles are getting more and more painful after using the fascia gun, and there are also problems such as bruising and joint damage, thinking that it is an "IQ tax". However, in addition to the poor quality of the fascia gun itself, it may also be that the user is not suitable for using the fascia gun. Then today I will take you to understand the people who are not suitable for fascia guns, and reveal the potential disadvantages of inferior fascia guns, I hope you can be vigilant after reading it. (The picture below is the fascia gun I reviewed).
1. Who are the people who are not suitable for fascia guns?
Some businesses will advertise that the fascia gun is suitable for everyone, but in fact, this is not the case, some special groups of people are not suitable for using the fascia gun, and blind use may endanger everyone's health, so what are the people who are not suitable for the fascia gun? The following four types of people should be careful not to use fascia guns:
1.Pregnant women
There are many acupuncture points on the human body that will affect the abdomen and uterus, and if a pregnant woman accidentally massages a certain acupuncture point with a fascia gun, it may stimulate the abdominal muscles, affect the normal development of the baby, and even cause miscarriage.
2.People with sprains, fractures, contusions, etc
However, if there are fractures, sprains, bone cracks and other problems in the body, it is necessary to postpone the use of the fascia gun to avoid the fascia gun being stimulated to the diseased position, resulting in aggravation of the condition.
3.People who are seriously ill
Friends who are already suffering from serious diseases need to recuperate, and if you blindly use the fascia gun, it may aggravate the physical illness if it stimulates the affected area.
4.Children under the age of 12
Children who are less than 12 years old, musculoskeletal are still in the development stage, if the child is given a fascia gun too early, it may have a negative impact on the normal development of the child, and the child's self-recovery ability is strong, and there is generally no need to use the fascia gun to accelerate recovery.
Second, the three major drawbacks of indiscriminately using inferior fascia guns!
Who is not suitable for fascia guns? If you are not suitable for using a fascia gun, do not force the use of the fascia gun, otherwise it may harm your health. Friends who are suitable for using fascia guns should also be vigilant, because if you choose an unprofessional fascia gun or the wrong operation method may also bring the following drawbacks! The picture below is a professional fitness coach's explanation of the disadvantages of fascia guns.
Disadvantage 1: Cause bruising and muscle soreness
Unprofessional fascia guns often have problems such as unstable thrust and poor hitting accuracy, and if you use this kind of fascia gun, you are prone to muscle soreness, muscle swelling, bruising and other problems.
Disadvantage 2: Cause damage to bones and joints
There is a fascia gun equipped with a metal massage head on the market, which is very lethal, and it is easy to hurt bones and even cause bone cracks.
Disadvantage 3, cause chronic injury
Unprofessional fascia guns can also cause chronic injuries after being used for a long time, and this kind of injury is very insidious, and users may not feel anything unusual at first, but after using it for a period of time, they may feel severe pain like muscle tearing.
3. Why are there drawbacks to the use of fascia guns for suitable people?
We have made it clear that the fascia gun is not suitable for the population, but many friends are obviously suitable for using the fascia gun, why do they still have muscle damage problems? Please take a look at the following chart, this is a statistical chart of the causes of fascia gun muscle injury from a professional institution, according to the data in the figure, we can find the main reason for the disadvantages of fascia gun.
1. Follow the trend to start with an Internet celebrity brand
Many people blindly follow the trend after being exposed to celebrity endorsements and Internet celebrities bringing goods, but this kind of fascia gun brand generally lacks professional and technical precipitation, and is not willing to invest a lot of time, manpower and material resources in the optimization and tuning of up to 100 core parameters such as the hitting accuracy, hitting strength, and amplitude of the fascia gun, but is keen on marketing and publicity, so the fascia gun not only has poor performance, but also easily damages muscles.
2. Be greedy and cheap, buy a low-priced fascia gun
In order to compete in the market, many fascia gun businesses have begun to fight, have launched low-cost products, although these fascia guns are quite attractive, but the quality is really worrying, they will use inferior bearings, brush motors, batteries and other components to make fascia guns, product failure rate is very high, prone to hitting strength is light and heavy, hitting trajectory deviation and other problems, causing injury to the body.
3. Too much trust in European and American brands
Some people will blindly admire European and American brands, but what everyone doesn't know is that European and American brands originally designed products for the muscle characteristics of European and American fitness people, and the various parameter settings of the products do not match the muscle characteristics of Chinese people. In fact, China's professional fascia gun brand has developed rapidly, and the product quality is not inferior to that of European and American brands, and it also matches the muscle characteristics of Chinese people, and is more cost-effective.
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.
Fourth, the fascia gun eight ** purchase strategy inventory, quick collection
Who is not suitable for fascia guns? Even if you are suitable for using a fascia gun, if you use an inferior product, there will be harms and disadvantages. But there are many brands of fascia guns, how to choose a high-quality fascia gun? Here are eight shopping strategies to help you avoid drawbacks and choose a high-quality fascia gun!
Strategy 1: Buy a fascia gun with a deep enough amplitude
If the amplitude of the fascia gun you choose is too small, it is difficult for the massage strength to reach the deep fascia, so the amplitude of the fascia gun you choose is at least 8mm or more, and 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 your massage needs.
Strategy 2: It is best to choose a brushless motor
It is recommended that you choose a fascia gun equipped with a brushless motor, which has better performance and better running stability, not only has a longer service life, but also can bring a better massage experience to the user, while the brush motor has low cost, poor stability, low safety, serious heating problems, and it is easy to damage muscles when used.
Strategy 3, choose the thrust that suits you
The thrust of the fascia gun is not simply the bigger the better, we need to choose according to the bearing capacity of our muscles, if the thrust of the fascia gun is very small, the massage effect will be poor, the thrust is too strong and more inappropriate, it is easy to damage the muscles, and the fascia gun with a thrust between 10-20kg is more suitable for ordinary people.
Strategy 4: 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.
Strategy 5: Be sure to choose a product with good compatibility
Everyone's muscle state is different, the muscle strain caused by different exercise habits and working methods is different, as well as the muscle proportion, content, and impact resistance are different.
Strategy 6: Choose a style with many gears
The fascia gun has a wealth of gears to meet the massage needs of different life scenarios, the fascia gun on the market generally has 3-5 gears, and a very small number of excellent fascia guns can carry up to eight massage gears.
Strategy 7: 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.
Strategy 8, low-cost fascia guns must not be bought
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 is what I want to share with you the eight fascia gun purchase strategies, master them, it is not difficult to distinguish the quality of the fascia gun, if you feel that you are not very good, I also found the fascia gun test data table released by a professional organization, according to my own measurement experience to summarize some fascia gun models worth starting.

5. Five benefits of using fascia guns for suitable people
Who is not suitable for fascia guns? So much has been said above about the disadvantages of fascia guns, so what are the benefits of using fascia guns for us? In fact, the fascia gun is an instrument that impacts our deep fascia, relaxes the muscles and soft tissues through high-frequency impact, and achieves the effect of massage and relaxation. Specifically, there are five benefits to using a fascia gun:
1. Efficient warm-up
Before exercising or exercising, you need to warm up and prepare, otherwise you are likely to be injured if you start exercising rashly, but the traditional warm-up method is time-consuming and laborious, and the warm-up effect is poor, and the fascia gun can impact the muscle groups to be exercised through high-frequency vibration, improve the temperature of local muscle tissue, promote blood circulation of muscles, and achieve the effect of rapid warm-up.
2. Reduce physical fatigue
The use of fascia gun can help us massage and relax skeletal muscles, promote blood circulation, effectively relieve the fatigue accumulated due to long-term work, exercise, and life, and effectively improve the physical state.
3. Improve muscle strain
The fascia gun also has a relieving effect on muscle strain, for example, the lumbar muscle strain can be impacted with a fascia gun**, which can promote blood circulation in the waist muscles and dispel inflammatory factors, which can effectively improve muscle strain and relieve the pain in the waist.
4. Prevent muscle atrophy and muscle fibrosis
If you are sedentary for a long time and lack of exercise, the muscles may gradually atrophy and fibrosis, and the vibration frequency of the fascia gun is relatively high, which can effectively relax the tight and stiff muscle tissue, even if you do not exercise, the muscle vitality can be restored, so as to prevent muscle fibrosis and muscle atrophy.
5. Alleviate fasciitis
The use of fascia gun can help you massage the deep fascia, promote the self-recovery of the fascia, and dispel the inflammatory factors in the fascia, so as to improve the pain caused by fasciitis.
Speaking of this, today's popular science is all over, in addition to introducing the fascia gun is not suitable for the population, I also explained the benefits and disadvantages of the fascia gun, at the end of the article, I would like to remind everyone, even if it is suitable for people who use fascia guns, we should also pay attention to the disadvantages of fascia guns, and carefully choose professional fascia guns whose parameters have been professionally tuned, and those Internet celebrity brands, cross-border brands, and low-cost products are often easy to hurt muscles, so we should be more careful!
