How to Get the Most Out of Your Massage Gun

Start Low, Especially the First Few Times

Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the device on, and start on the lowest speed setting until you know how your muscles respond. You can always go up — it's harder to undo overdoing it.

Target Muscle, Not Bone or Joints

Keep the massage head moving over the meaty part of the muscle — think shoulders, calves, quads, upper back — and avoid resting it directly on bones, joints, or your spine.

Little and Often Beats One Long Session

1-2 minutes per muscle group is usually plenty. Move slowly across the area rather than holding it in one spot for too long.

Switch Heads for Different Areas

Our Portable Percussion Massage Gun comes with 4 interchangeable heads — broader heads suit larger muscle groups, while the pointed head is better for pinpointing a specific knot.

Don't use the device while it's charging, and stop if you feel sharp pain rather than muscle relief.
