When using the fascia gun, you need to massage along the texture of the muscles, not only hit the pain points, but also not use the fascia gun to hit at will, otherwise it is difficult to help us fully massage and relax the muscles.
2. Control the use time
The massage time can be adjusted appropriately according to the thickness of the muscles and the type of massage head, but it is best to control it between 3-5 minutes.
3. The strength is appropriate
The vibration frequency of the fascia gun itself is very high, so you only need to press the fascia gun against the muscles with a slight force, and if you press the fascia gun too hard, it may cause muscle damage.
4. Pay attention to the position of the massage
The fascia gun is only suitable for massaging muscles and soft tissues, and if you use the fascia gun in weak muscles such as bones, joints, and neck, it is easy to cause damage.

3. Expose the three hidden risks of the fascia gun!
How to use the muscle relaxation fascia gun? Everyone should already know about the correct use of the fascia gun, but even if you use it correctly, if the quality of the fascia gun itself is very poor and the professionalism is very low, there may be the following three risks when you use it. The picture below is an introduction to the risks of fascia guns by professional fitness trainers.
Risk 1: Damage to bones and joints
Fascia gun is only suitable for massaging and relaxing muscle and soft tissues, if you use the fascia gun in joints, bones and other positions, joints and bones are easily damaged, some fascia guns equipped with metal massage heads are very lethal, and even cause bone cracks in serious cases.
Risk 2: Causes muscle swelling and bruising
Those unprofessional fascia guns often have problems such as unstable hitting force, uneven vibration frequency, trajectory drift, etc., which are easy to damage skin and muscles when used, resulting in bruises and muscle soreness.
Risk 3: Causes chronic injury
Long-term use of unprofessional fascia guns is also prone to chronic injury, users may not feel very uncomfortable when they first use it, but after a period of development, they may feel severe muscle tearing pain, which is very uncomfortable.
Fourth, correct the four misunderstandings of the fascia gun as soon as possible!
Since there is a risk of muscle damage to the muscles of using an inferior fascia gun, we should not choose the fascia gun at will, but should first understand the main reasons for the muscle damage of the fascia gun, and take measures to reduce the risk. The following figure is a map of the causes of muscle injury in the domestic fascia gun drawn by an authoritative organization, and after analysis, it can be found that the inferior and unprofessional fascia gun is the main cause of muscle damage. Most people will choose inferior fascia guns because of cognitive errors in fascia guns, and the following four misunderstandings are particularly common, so don't fall for them.
Myth 1: Think that low-cost fascia guns are cost-effective
Some friends like to buy cheap fascia guns, thinking that they are cost-effective, but in fact, this kind of fascia guns are generally greatly reduced by the production cost of merchants, and the component materials used are inferior batteries, bearings, brush motors, etc., whether the product is hit stability, hitting performance, or battery life, noise, etc., it is not good enough, and it is easy to cause muscle damage.
Myth 2: When choosing a fascia gun, you don't take into account your own muscle state
Under the influence of various factors such as climate, age, working style, food culture, etc., everyone's muscles are very distinctive, and different people's needs for massage and relaxation are also different, so everyone should choose a fascia gun based on their own muscle characteristics.
Myth 3: Superstition of big European and American brands
Some friends will blindly admire European and American brands, thinking that their fascia gun quality is better, but in fact, in recent years, the domestic fascia gun has developed rapidly, the product quality is not worse than that of European and American brands, more cost-effective, more suitable for the muscle state of the Chinese people, and European and American brands are designed according to the body type of European and American fitness people, the product is very incompatible with the muscles of the Chinese people, and everyone is easy to damage the muscles.
Myth 4: Use an Internet celebrity brand fascia gun
Internet celebrity brands often put their main funds and energy on the marketing hype of the fascia gun, but they do not study the professional technology of the fascia gun well, nor do they spend time and energy to adjust and optimize the core parameters of the fascia gun such as hitting strength, hitting stability, accuracy, etc., and the muscle damage rate of the product is very high!
After correcting the above four misunderstandings of fascia guns, we will be able to avoid most of the pitfalls, but there are many brands of fascia guns on the market, and it will take a lot of effort to buy a high-quality fascia gun with good performance and no muscle damage, so I also found the following fascia gun strength index and destruction index chart released by an authoritative testing agency for your reference when purchasing fascia guns.

5. How to choose the right fascia gun? Share eight tips!
How to use the muscle relaxation fascia gun? If you want to play the effect of the fascia gun to relax the muscles, it is essential to choose and use the fascia gun correctly. I have taught you how to use the fascia gun, so how do we choose the fascia gun?
Skill 1: The thrust is suitable for you
If the thrust of the fascia gun used by you is too small, the massage effect will be poor, and the fascia gun with too strong thrust should not be chosen, the risk of muscle injury will be relatively high, and the fascia gun with a thrust between 10-20kg is more suitable for ordinary people.
Skill 2: Distinguish between mini guns and big guns
The mini fascia gun is small in size, light in weight, easy to carry, but the performance is average, if it is a woman with a thin muscle layer, you can take it to try it, for sports enthusiasts and male users, it is still more suitable to use a large gun, the performance of the big gun is better, and it can meet everyone's deeper massage needs.
Tip 3: Choose a fascia gun with deep amplitude
If the amplitude of the fascia gun is very shallow, it may not be able to massage the deep muscles and fascia, it is recommended that you use a fascia gun with an amplitude of more than 8mm, and if you are a friend who often exercises, you can also use products with an amplitude of more than 10mm, in order to fully meet everyone's massage needs.
Tip 4: 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.
Tip 5: Buy a fascia gun with good compatibility
Chinese muscle characteristics are actually very complex, especially muscle strain and problems caused by different sports, work and Xi, as well as muscle proportion, content, resistance to blows, etc. are different, choose products with poor compatibility, not only poor massage effect, but also may seriously affect comfort, and even cause muscle damage.
Skill 6: The gears of the fascia gun should be rich enough
The mainstream fascia gun generally has three to five massage gears, but some fascia guns with good performance can also reach as many as eight gears.
Tip 7: Products equipped with brushless motors are more recommended
We choose the fascia gun equipped with a brushless motor, because this type of motor has stronger performance, better operation stability, and longer service life, while the common brush motor is a low-cost fascia gun in use, with low safety, poor stability, and serious heating problems, which will not only affect the life of the fascia gun, but also easily damage the muscles.
Tip 8: Stay away from low-priced products
Don't use a fascia gun with a low price, because this kind of fascia gun generally has problems such as shrinking battery life, weak power, loud noise, poor quality, and shaking hands, and there are a lot of related complaints, and the muscle damage rate is also high!
How to use the muscle relaxation fascia gun?The improper purchase and use of the fascia gun may bring harm to the body, so when you buy the fascia gun, don't blindly follow the trend of Internet celebrity propaganda products, let alone be overly obsessed with foreign big-name products, you should choose a product with high compatibility and various kernel data that has been adjusted and optimized according to your own muscle characteristics, so as to ensure that your operation method is correct, so that you can use the fascia gun to relax the muscles without hurting the muscles at the same time!
