Massage guns are a convenient way to get your muscles relaxed without having to go to a masseuse. This is especially helpful post-workouts or when you are at work and need quick relief. Sitting for long hours or doing a really intense workout can get your muscles tied up in knots, and this is a short-term solution for it.
Massage guns help to increase blood circulation which in turn helps muscles to heal faster from micro-tears during workouts, to pummel (kidding) our face muscles to reduce bloating, and for relaxation. Some of them come with multiple heads, which can be used interchangeably, depending on your needs.

FAQs
- Massage gun benefits
While it is not a cure, the massage gun does aid with our physique. Some common benefits are blood circulation, which in turn gives a flow to your bodily functions.
When you do weight training or cardio, your muscles tend to get overworked and there are times when people experience spasms, especially in the middle of the night. A massage gun will help to relax the muscles and reduce the chances of that happening. Like a regular massage, it also promotes flexibility, giving you a wider range of motion.
- Where should you not use a massage gun?
Think of a massage gun like you would a massage session. The masseuse does not massage you in areas like your bone, tendons, or ligaments. Rather, the focus would be on your sore muscles. The same could be said for areas on your body that are hurt, ie: surgery scars or wounds – so when you use your massage gun, keep an eye out for them.
Rule of thumb? Listen to your body. If wherever you use the gun on starts to hurt in a weird way, not those dull thuds that feel a bit achy but feel good in the long run but sharp pains, then stop. This may be a sign that you hurt a part of your body, and are causing that muscle to go through repeated pummeling is not a good idea.
