If you are new to pistol massage, there are some things to keep in mind so that you get the most out of them. We talked with a sports chiropractor and Hyperiz Ambassador, Iaululia Morgan about the advice of best practices for massage guns.
Choosing a real massage gun: There are different types of massage pistols on the market, so it is useful to know if you want something difficult because you are very active or if you do not need a massage gun with all Svona and gigs because you will only use it occasionally. It is also important to set a budget for yourself, because some massage guns can go up from $ 100.
Know which specifications to see: When choosing a massage gun, there are several features you want to see: the amplitude and strength of the stalls. “The stagnant force simply means how much pressure can withstand the engine of the massage pistol in front of the” stalls “engine with us,” Morgan explains.
Know the attachments: Most massage guns will come with several different articles that you can include depending on the area you target. For example, the usual accessories may include a standard ball that is good for large and small muscle groups, a bullet that aims to target the legs and back muscles, the fork that aims to target the spine, shoulders and neck and a flat head.
How often to use: Massage guns are safe for regular use until there are no health problems to solve first. Morgan says: “Those with thin skin, who have basic musculoskeletal or vascular states, or who are pregnant, should consult their doctor before use.” Although massage guns are safe to use every day to calm down the painful muscles or as part of warm -up, it is important to make sure you do not experience chronic pain. “If you use it every day of pain that does not leave or improve after two or three days, it may require another intervention,” warns Morgan.
Start slowly: It may be tempting to put the massage gun in the highest setting, but the key is to start slowly. “Gently fly the massage gun through the area, not holding too long in one position,” Morgan says. Use the massage gun in different directions and work on the area for about a few minutes and rest as needed.
