Introduce:

Massage gun, also known as deep myofascial impact instrument, is a soft tissue rehabilitation tool that relaxes the soft tissues of the body through high-frequency impact. Massage gun can be understood as a civilian version of DMS (Electric Deep Muscle Stimulator), the vibration frequency will change during use, and its basic function is similar to DMS. Massage gun is an effective method for the treatment of soft tissue pain introduced from abroad. It stimulates its proprioceptive function, thereby effectively relieving muscle tension and achieving the purpose of pain relief.

Development Path:

In the 2017 U.S. Professional Basketball League Finals, Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving, with the help of a physical therapist, used a Massage gun to relax the back and thigh muscles and quickly returned to the court. Then it was widely used in the team service of the American professional league.

Mechanism of Action:

The Massage gun uses its internal special high-speed motor to drive the "torch head" to generate high-frequency vibrations to the deep layer of the muscles to reduce local tissue tension, relieve pain, and promote blood circulation.

Instructions:

The large round head of the Massage gun is generally used for shoulders, buttocks, and thighs; the small round head is used for large areas of muscles such as arms and calves. The Massage gun needs to be used along the muscle texture and fascia direction of the human body. The head, cervical spine, spine and other parts with a large number of nerves and blood vessels cannot be used. The duration of use for each part should not exceed 3 to 5 minutes.

If the operation is improper or for a long time, it may increase the feeling of fatigue. Pregnant women or people with health problems should not use it.

Shopping Guide:

The difference between a Massage gun of more than 1,000 yuan is not much, and the impact of tens of yuan and one or two hundred yuan is large, unstable, and the amplitude and strength are sometimes large and sometimes small. Especially for the core part of the motor of the Massage gun, big brands may be guaranteed. The cheap Massage guns on the market do not have the effect of deep hitting and relaxation at all, but a simple form of vibration "vibrator", which obviously cannot In line with the demands of consumers, brush motors are basically used, and some even use low-quality motors, which lack a protection mechanism and are likely to cause harm to the human body. Some Massage guns on the market have a rotation speed higher than 3000 rpm, the vibration force is too large, but it is easy to cause damage. The Massage gun between 2000-3000 revolutions can produce better results.

1. Motor (brushless or brushed motor); 2. Noise; 3. Battery capacity (maximum battery life), the battery should not be too small, otherwise the massage will be out of power; 4. Effective amplitude; 5. Gear is not over The more the better, the three gears with obvious distinctions of high, medium and low are enough. For example, the more than 30 gears advertised by some brands are not practical; the quality of entry-level Massage guns is uneven, and only the basics can be achieved The vibration is not a real massage tool."
