What is the best way to use the fascia gun? Today, fitness bloggers will talk about this problem for you, and reveal the three major risks of inferior fascia guns***I hope you can choose to use fascia guns carefully. (The picture below is some of the fascia gun products I have reviewed).
1. How to use the fascia gun for the best effect?
If you want to give full play to the massage and relaxation effect of the fascia gun, the correct operation of the fascia gun is essential, so how to use the fascia gun with the best effect? Next, I will popularize the correct use of fascia gun for everyone, let's learn it quickly.
1. Massage along the lines of the muscles
During the fascial gun massage, you should move along the texture of the muscles, and refer to the direction of the muscles to massage and hit as a whole, for example, the thigh muscles are vertical, and the pectoral muscles are horizontal. When using the fascia gun, you should not use excessive force, just use appropriate force, otherwise it may cause problems such as rupture of subcutaneous blood vessels and bruising.
2. The fascia gun should not be used for too long
The total duration of the blow in the same position is best controlled between three and five minutes, and the specific massage time can be adjusted according to the position of the blow and the type of massage ball. For example, the ball massage head and the flat massage head have a larger contact area with **, and the hitting force is more uniform, which can appropriately extend the massage time, while the tapered massage head has concentrated hitting force and is better to massage for three minutes.
3. Do not beat the fascia gun indiscriminately
The high-frequency vibration of the fascia gun is only suitable for hitting and relaxing large muscle positions, and there are many areas on the body that are not suitable for massage with the fascia gun, such as joints, bones, ligaments, as well as the chest, carotid artery, armpits, abdomen, etc. Hitting these locations rashly can easily damage the body.
2. The five benefits of using the fascia gun correctly
How to use the fascia gun for the best effect? The use of the fascia gun has been popularized for everyone, so what kind of benefits can the correct use of the fascia gun bring us? The fascia gun is actually driven by a motor, and the deep layer of the muscles is massaged through high-frequency vibration, bringing the following five types of benefits to the user.
1. Alleviate the problem of fasciitis
In the state of overwork, the fascia and muscles are prone to spasm and pain, which is actually caused by fasciitis, and the massage strength of the fascia gun reaches the deep fascia, which can promote the self-recovery of the fascia and dispel the inflammatory factors in the fascia, thereby improving the pain caused by fasciitis.
2. Prevent muscle atrophy and muscle fibrosis
Nowadays, many student parties and white-collar workers are in the normal state of sedentary life, and over time, even if they are not old, they may have problems such as muscle atrophy and muscle fibrosis, and the fascia gun can help everyone relax tight and stiff muscle tissue, promote muscle rejuvenation, and help prevent muscle fibrosis and muscle atrophy without exercising.
3. Achieve the effect of rapid warm-up
Before doing sports or fitness, everyone needs to choose to prepare for warm-up to avoid rash exercise and injury, but the traditional warm-up method is more time-consuming and laborious, inefficient, and difficult to fully warm up, 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.
4. Reduce fatigue
The fascia gun can massage and relax skeletal muscles, promote blood circulation, help everyone relieve the fatigue accumulated due to long-term work, exercise, and life, and effectively improve the physical state.
5. Improve muscle strain
The fascia gun also has a relieving effect on muscle strain, taking the more common lumbar muscle strain problem as an example, the fascia gun can impact the inflamed and damaged waist muscles, promote the blood circulation of the waist muscles, and dispel inflammatory factors, which can effectively improve the muscle strain problem and relieve the pain of the waist.
Third, the three major *** of using the wrong fascia gun
How to use the fascia gun for the best effect? The correct use of high-quality fascia guns does have many benefits, but most of the fascia guns on the market are "unqualified" products, these unprofessional products generally have problems such as low hitting accuracy, fast and slow vibration frequency, and unstable strength. The following picture is the opinion of a professional fitness trainer:
Fascia guns can lead to the following***
**1. Cause bruising and muscle soreness.
Unprofessional fascia guns often have problems such as unstable thrust and poor hitting accuracy, which will inevitably cause muscle soreness, muscle swelling, bruising and other problems after use.
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.
3. Cause chronic injury
Unprofessional fascia guns can also cause chronic injuries after being used for a long time, this kind of injury is very hidden, and you will not feel very uncomfortable at the beginning, but after using it for a period of time, you may experience severe pain like muscle tears.
Fourth, why does the fascia gun have four major reasons
How to use the fascia gun for the best effect? Everyone who uses inferior fascia guns must pay attention to it, so why does the fascia gun have ***? Regarding this question, we can get the answer from the statistical chart of the causes of fascial gun muscle injury released by authoritative institutions, and it is not difficult to see that the following four points are the main reasons for muscle injury caused by fascia gun.
Reason 1: Superstitious European and American brands
There are still many people who blindly respect European and American brands, but in fact, the fascia guns produced by domestic professional brands are not inferior to European and American brands in terms of professional technical content and basic quality, which is not only more cost-effective, but also more in line with the muscle characteristics of Chinese people. The fascia gun of European and American brands is mainly designed for European and American fitness people, the product is not suitable for the muscle characteristics of the Chinese, the parameters are generally too violent, and the Chinese people with average muscle tolerance are prone to bruising and muscle swelling when using this kind of fascia gun.
Reason 2: Follow the trend to start with Internet celebrity products
Many friends will blindly follow the trend to start the fascia gun of Internet celebrity brands and cross-border brands, they have made great efforts in marketing hype, but they have not paid attention to the professional technology related to the fascia gun, the products are generally made in the form of 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!
Reason 3: Use a fascia gun that is too cheap
The cheap fascia gun is very attractive, but you will find that it is very pitted after you start, because the production cost of this kind of low-cost fascia gun has shrunk significantly, and the materials used are very inferior, such as the brush motor, this motor is a low-cost fascia gun commonly used in the element, its cost is low, the structural design is not scientific, the power is unstable, the massage strength is light and heavy, and the hitting trajectory is also easy to drift, which is likely to bring harm to everyone's body.
Reason 4: Use a fascia gun that is not suitable for your muscle characteristics
Under the combined influence of various factors such as eating habits, working methods, gender, age, etc., each person's muscle characteristics are unique, if you don't know how to combine your muscle state when buying a fascia gun, but blindly follow the recommendations of celebrity Internet celebrities, you are likely to buy poor compatibility, not suitable for your own fascia gun products, and there will be bruising, muscle swelling, muscle soreness and other problems after use.
The above is the reason for the production of fascia guns, you can see that Internet celebrity brands, European and American brands, and low-cost products have a relatively high muscle injury rate, so what brand of fascia gun is good?

Five and eight tips teach you to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of fascia guns
How to use the fascia gun for the best effect? According to the above analysis, it can be seen that the inferior fascia gun is the main cause of muscle damage, so how do we avoid the fascia gun and choose a good fascia gun? The following is to share with you the secret of eight ** purchases, and you can just follow it.
Tip 1: It is best to choose a product equipped with a brushless motor.
The motor of the mainstream fascia gun is divided into two types: brushless motor and brushed motor, brushless motor is more worthy of choice, its performance is more outstanding, the working noise is relatively low, the service life is longer, and it can bring you a better massage experience. The brush motor is low in cost, poor in performance, not very good in hitting stability, serious heating problem, easy to hurt muscles, joints and bones when used.
Tip 2: Choose the thrust that suits you
The thrust of the fascia gun has a great impact on the massage effect, but the thrust is not simply the bigger the better, but according to the user's muscle tolerance to choose, ordinary people can choose the fascia gun with a thrust between 10kg-20kg, if the thrust of the fascia gun you buy is too strong, it is likely to cause bruises, muscle soreness and other problems.
Tip 3: Identify the advantages and disadvantages of the mini gun and the big gun
According to different body types, the fascia gun can be divided into two types: mini type and large gun, of which the mini type fascia gun is small in size and easy to carry, but it is generally weak in terms of performance, and is only suitable for some thin women, while men and friends with exercise habits should still choose big guns, because the performance of big guns is more excellent, which can help everyone massage and relax muscles more fully.
Tip 4: Use a fascia gun with a deep enough amplitude
If the amplitude of the fascia gun you choose is less than 8mm, and the massage strength is difficult to penetrate into the deep muscles and fascia, it is best to choose a fascia gun with an amplitude of more than 8mm to massage the deep fascia, and friends who often exercise and exercise can also use the fascia gun with an amplitude of more than 10mm to ensure that the deep muscles and fascia can be fully massaged.
Tip 5: Choose a fascia gun with high hitting accuracy
Only the fascia gun has a high enough hitting accuracy to accurately hit the position that needs to be massaged and relaxed, if you choose the fascia gun with low hitting accuracy, it is difficult for the user to hold the fascia gun for a long time, and it may hit the wrong and cause damage to the body! Many low-priced fascia guns do a pretty poor job of this!
Tip 6: Proper weight
The weight of the fascia gun you choose is best between 600g-1000g. If it is too light, the pressure sensation is not obvious when using the fascia gun, and it is easy to make a mistake, which will affect the massage effect and cause muscle damage. An excessively heavy fascia gun is also not good and difficult to hold for a long time.
Tip 7: The vibration frequency is more suitable between 2000-3500 min
The vibration frequency of the fascia gun also needs to be selected according to the tolerance of your muscles, ordinary people use the fascia gun with a vibration frequency between 2000-3500 min, if the vibration frequency of the fascia gun you use exceeds 4000r min, it is likely to damage the muscles when used, resulting in bruising, muscle swelling and pain and other problems.
Tip 8: Refuse to bring goods to Internet celebrities and endorse products by celebrities
The profits of products endorsed by celebrities and brought by Internet celebrities are generally relatively high, and when doing activities, they often dive sharply. Moreover, the product quality is generally poor, there will be frequent failures, there are often problems such as unstable power output, insufficient compatibility, etc., and many muscle damage problems are caused by this kind of fascia gun.
How to use the fascia gun for the best effect? The dry goods of the fascia gun shared today are coming to an end here, and everyone should now learn how to use and purchase the fascia gun. At the end of the article, it is necessary to emphasize that when purchasing a fascia gun, we should remember the purchase tips we summarized above, give priority to professional products that do not hurt muscles, and then combine them with correct use to be able to give full play to the benefits of fascia guns.
