Is a massage gun harmful?
The number of people with a massage gun is constantly increasing. A massage gun is a massage device with which you can loosen your muscles yourself to relieve tension, for example, and do not have to make an appointment at a massage studio beforehand.
High-frequency pressure shocks on the muscle tissue are intended to loosen stuck fasciae, which can generally contribute to relaxation, but is also excellent before and after sports. Especially before buying or getting to know the massage gun, a lot of people are unsure how to use the massager and whether you can damage something by using it.
When used correctly, a massage gun is not dangerous, and the speed levels can be adjusted to suit individual preferences. The use of the massage gun should not cause any pain but provide a pleasant feeling. Nevertheless, there are some things you should consider to make the application pleasant.
