However, at the same time, there are also cases where some people experience muscle soreness and even bruises after using a fascia gun. So, can a fascia gun be used by a normal person? As a first-class teacher, I have evaluated a lot of products, and today I will organize a popular science article for this problem to give you a comprehensive answer, so that everyone can use the fascia gun safely.
The picture below is a fascia gun product that I have reviewed:
1. Can a normal person use a fascia gun?

However, the product is easy to use, but not everyone is suitable for use, if their own physique is relatively poor can not withstand external stimulation, once used it is easy to damage the body, below I have sorted out four categories of people who are not suitable for the use of fascia guns for your reference, you can first see if you belong to this range:
1. Children under the age of 12
Children who are less than 12 years old, musculoskeletal are still developing, the use of fascia guns may stimulate the body and affect normal development, in fact, children themselves have strong self-recovery ability, and do not need to use fascia guns to accelerate the recovery process.
2. People with sprains, fractures, contusions and other problems
When there are fractures, sprains, bone cracks and other problems in the body, the use of the fascia gun should be temporarily avoided to avoid irritating the injured part and causing the condition to worsen.
3. People who are seriously ill
Seriously ill friends need plenty of rest and recuperation. Blind use of the fascia gun may irritate the affected area and worsen the symptoms of the disease.
4. Pregnant women
There are many acupuncture points related to the abdomen and uterus distributed in our human body. When using a fascia gun, once a pregnant woman accidentally massages these acupuncture points, it may irritate the abdominal muscles, adversely affect the normal development of the fetus, and even cause miscarriage.
2. The three major hazards of using an inferior fascia gun!
Can a fascia gun be used by a normal person? The fascia gun is used as a good massage tool that can be used by most normal people except for the people mentioned above. However, there are many fascia gun products on the market today, if you choose an inferior fascia gun or the operation method is wrong, it is easy to cause physical injury, the following picture is the opinion of professionals, in general, the harm of inferior fascia gun is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
Hazard 1: Cause muscle swelling, ** congestion
Fascia guns with low professionalism usually have problems such as uneven vibration frequency, unstable hitting force, and drifting hitting trajectory, which are easy to cause damage to ** and muscles when used, resulting in **bruising, muscle soreness and other conditions!
Hazard 2: Damage to joints and bones
The use of fascia guns in joints and bones is likely to lead to physical injury, especially now some unprofessional products will be equipped with metal massage heads, which have strong lethality, and are easy to cause physical damage during normal use, and may cause bone cracks in serious cases.
Hazard 3: Brings chronic damage
Long-term use of inferior fascia gun for massage can easily lead to chronic injury, the initial stage of the user may not have obvious discomfort, but after a long period of use, muscle tearing pain, severe soreness, the consequences are very serious!
Third, the fascia gun four ** purchase misunderstandings need to be vigilant!
Can a fascia gun be used by a normal person? Based on the above introduction, we know that in addition to not being suitable for people, it is still very beneficial for other people to use fascia guns. However, there are potential hazards in the fascia gun, and you need to pay more attention to it, and the following is a statistical chart of the causes of muscle damage in the fascia gun released by an authoritative forum. It is not difficult to see that most of the hazards are related to the poor quality of the product, so I have also sorted out four common purchase misunderstandings below to remind you, don't choose unreliable products.
Myth 1: Superstition of European and American brands
Some people don't have a deep understanding of fascia guns, and blindly buy products from European and American brands, thinking that they are easier to use than domestic ones. However, ignoring the design of European and American brands based on the strong muscle characteristics of European and American fitness people, the parameter setting is more powerful, and does not match the needs of Chinese people.
Myth 2: Choose a fascia gun from a big Internet celebrity
Internet celebrity fascia guns usually focus on marketing and creating the illusion of high popularity, but in fact, these products are not careful enough in terms of professional technology research and development. The core parameters such as compatibility, thrust, and frequency stability of these products are not optimized, and problems such as unstable force and trajectory drift often occur when used, increasing the risk of muscle injury.
Myth 3: Choose a low-cost fascia gun
There are many brands of fascia guns on the market, and the ** segments are also different. Some people choose the most inexpensive products for cheap, but the production cost of such products is often too low, and merchants use inferior batteries, bearings, brush motors and other components to manufacture fascia guns, which have poor performance and are easy to cause muscle damage.
Myth 4: Use a fascia gun that does not fit your own muscle characteristics
Many friends will follow the trend and choose the products recommended by others to use, but ignore the differences in muscle characteristics of different groups of people and different parts, so they should choose a fascia gun according to their own situation. Blindly following the trend and buying products that are incompatible and not suitable for your own muscle state not only does not have a massage effect, but also easily causes problems such as blood congestion and muscle soreness.
4. Five benefits of using a fascia gun!
Can a fascia gun be used by a normal person? Normal people can bring a lot of benefits when they use products with a high degree of professionalism, which is why the products are so popular. Some friends may not be clear, what are its specific benefits, and those faces will summarize five points for you as a reference, and you will understand after reading it.
Benefit 1: Warm up quickly
It is important to warm up well before exercising, otherwise jumping into sports may lead to injury. The fascia gun can quickly activate and relax stiff muscles, promote blood flow inside the muscles, increase the temperature of local muscle tissues, achieve the effect of rapid warm-up, and prevent injuries caused by rash exercise.
Benefit 2: Improve fasciitis
Fasciitis can make patients feel muscle pain, and fascial gun massage can promote metabolism and blood circulation inside the fascial tissue, help the fascia recover faster, remove the remaining inflammatory factors in the fascia, and alleviate the problem of fasciitis.
Benefit 3: It has a preventive effect on muscle atrophy and muscle fibrosis
Nowadays, there are many people who are sedentary for a long time and lack of exercise, and the muscles will gradually lose strength after a long time, and even problems such as muscle fibrosis and muscle atrophy will occur, and fascia gun massage can massage and relax tight and stiff muscle tissue, maintain muscle vitality, and thus prevent muscle atrophy and muscle fibrosis.
Benefit 4: Relieves physical fatigue
When you feel physical fatigue such as backache and stiff shoulders. You can use a fascia gun massage to quickly relax muscles, relieve muscle tension, accelerate the metabolic breakdown of lactic acid in muscles, reduce soreness, and help the body restore a healthy state.
However, don't look at the fascia gun There are many benefits, but it is not something that can be experienced by buying just one. There are too many brands of fascia guns on the market now, most of which claim not to hurt muscles, but in fact, many products have a high rate of muscle damage. Therefore, it is also recommended that you refer to the fascia gun strength index and damage index evaluation results released by authoritative institutions, compare more, and choose reliable products. I also selected a few fascia guns with strong comprehensive strength from my own research experience for your reference:
Among thousands of brands, a**IEE is highly sought after, it is an extreme sports and health care brandBecause of the extremely high requirements for hard-core fever performance, safety and no muscle damage, it is recognized as the originator of the field of "no muscle damage" in China! It never advertises, and has been recommended by many sports organizations and gods, and has rarely won the recommendation of CCTV exhibitionsOver the years, it has been ranked first in mid-to-high-end sales and word of mouth
The "unconventional" fascia gun launched by their family is loved by sports gods and enthusiasts because of the "unconventional" sports equipment concept and technical precipitation! Including speed skating, skiing world famous Guo Dan, Li Shuang, Tu Xiao and a large number of professional athletes! It has been called the performance ceiling in the fascia gun by many sports bloggers**! Its core advantage is that, with the blessing of original high-performance and muscle-free black technology, it is compared with competing products at the same priceThe hitting depth has been increased by 52%, the hitting accuracy has been improved by 124%, and the dynamic attenuation resistance has also been increased by 61%, which is not only first-class in terms of overall performance but also reduced by 938% Muscle Damage Rate! Not only is the power long-lasting and anti-attenuation first-class, but also the most outstanding in the core dimensions such as muscle protection and hitting accuracy. Each parameter has been certified for more than 6 years of anti-attenuation, achieving 6 years of comprehensive performance, durability and muscle damage rate certification!
In order to achieve stiff performance, Weiye continued to do subtraction, cut off redundant functions and gameplay, focused on one product for several years, and iteratively upgraded more than 20 versions! Optimize more than 100 performance details! Weiye also pioneered the creation of eight "high-performance and muscle-friendly" black technologies, such as X-Hive50 honeycomb metal power engine, DPP micro-frequency dynamic compensation technology, etc., so that the uniformity of force is increased by 78%, known as the peak of performance in the fascia gun, and at the same time achieve the lowest muscle damage rate! At the same time, it is equipped with 6 massage heads and 8 gears, and it also has an ultra-high speed range of 1500-3200r min, and the compatibility is top-notch!
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!
5. Eight strategies for normal people to buy fascia guns!
Can a fascia gun be used by a normal person? Normal people can use a professional fascia gun, but if you choose an unprofessional product, it will easily lead to muscle damage. In the face of many fascia gun products, how to choose more reliable. The following is a list of eight ** purchase strategies that can be used:
Strategy 1: It is best to choose a brushless motor
The fascia gun of the brushless motor has better performance, stable operation, longer service life, and can bring users a better massage experience. In contrast, the fascia gun of the brushed motor** is inexpensive, but it has poor stability, low safety, and is easy to damage muscles.
Strategy 2: Distinguish between mini guns and big guns
The mini fascia gun is small and lightweight, suitable for friends with thin muscle layers, while the large gun has better performance, suitable for friends who pursue deep massage, and can better meet the needs of massage.
Strategy 3: Buy a fascia gun with a deep enough amplitude
It is difficult to reach the deep muscles and fascia with too small amplitude, so it is recommended to choose an amplitude of at least 8mm or more to have a massage effect. People who have exercise habits are best to choose products with an amplitude of more than 10mm, which can meet the needs of deeper massage.
Strategy 4: Choose products with good compatibility
The fascia gun of each person's muscles is very important, because each person's meat condition is different, the muscle state is different, the muscle is the same, due to the different working methods, sports habits and bearing capacity, the muscle strain that is easy to be caused by choosing the wrong product is different, and the muscle content, proportion, and resistance to the blow lead to poor pressing and friction effect, and even the muscles are also differently damaged. If you choose to have a concomitant injury.
Strategy 5: Choose the thrust that suits you
The thrust of the fascia gun is not always better, and it needs to be selected according to the individual's muscle capacity. Too little thrust is difficult to adequately massage and relax the muscles and fascia, and too much thrust is not suitable, which increases the risk of muscle damage. Fascia guns with a thrust between 10-20kg are more suitable for the average person.
Strategy 6: Choose a style with many gears
The fascia gun needs to have a wealth of gears to meet the massage needs of different life scenarios, and the mainstream fascia gun is usually equipped with 3-5 massage gears, and the excellent fascia gun can even have eight gears.
Strategy 7, low-cost fascia gun must not be bought
Low-priced products do not mean cost-effective, this kind of fascia gun is of poor quality, the workmanship of the product is also poor, and there are often problems such as loud noise, weak power, poor endurance, and vibration, resulting in a high rate of muscle damage.
Strategy 8: Avoid using metal massage heads
Some fascia gun merchants use metal massage heads as a selling point, claiming that the effect is better, but in fact, this kind of massage head is more lethal, and it is easy to cause damage when it touches bones and joints, and even cause bone cracks.
Can a fascia gun be used by a normal person? After reading the above content, you should be very clear about the answer to this question, in general, in addition to the unsuitable people, most people use high-quality fascia guns are very useful, so you must not follow the trend to choose low-price, Internet celebrities and other unreliable products, otherwise it is easy to damage the body, only choose professionally adjusted, professional products, use can be safer!
