How to Safely Use a Massage Gun – Tips & Common Mistakes
Massage guns are powerful tools — but only if used smartly. Here’s a guide to get the most from yours (and stay injury-free).
Correct Usage Tips
-
Duration per spot: 30–60 seconds on a muscle group
-
Amplitude & pressure: Let the gun do the work; don’t press too hard
-
Motion: Sweep slowly over the muscle, don’t bounce
-
Before vs After: Use low settings before workouts; higher settings post-workout for deeper release
-
Avoid sensitive zones: Bones, joints, open wounds, varicose veins, or acute injuries without medical advice
Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
Rushing through — glossing over tight spots too fast
-
Pressing too hard (can bruise or irritate)
-
Using on injured tissue without guidance
-
Overdoing it — giving more than is beneficial (limit to 1–2 times per day per area)
