Massage Guns: Why They Work & How To Use Them- Bob and Brad Concur

What I like about these guys is that they're everyday people like you and me at heart. They're not here trying to show off their education and speaking in professional jargon the whole time. They speak in relatable terms and show us what to do in ways most people watching can grasp.

I can't believe the difference after the first use. I had been stretching this muscle, but it always returned to its tight position even after many months. I feel so much better! Thank you both!

[@davidthayer6590]

Be extremely careful when massaging your arms, you can cause severe neuralgia if massaged too hard or too long. I Did it to both my arms and had very bad shooting nerve pains down my arms for about a week.

[@chardonnay5767]

I agree that a basic understanding of muscle anatomy and physiology is helpful to navigate what and why is being done. Also there are some danger areas in the human body where the nerves and blood vessels don't have any muscle coverings. If there wasn't some kind of underlying issue it's likely you found one of those.

Anyone have experience using a massage gun for muscle spasms? Been considering one for some time, but haven't seen too much research on how well it works for spasms in particular

[@haqinc]

following this^

[@leoniet890]

Following

[@innertamement]

Hey guys, figured i'd add my 2 cents since I ended up taking the plunge and getting the Hyperice a few months ago. I primarily use it on my lower back (where I get my spasms) prior to exercising and in the mornings when my body is most stiff. I've definitely noticed a difference doing this in combination with core strengthening exercises. I still get muscle spasms but they're way less severe - lasts only 1-3 days tops instead of 3 weeks like it used to be. Main takeaways: a massage gun has definitely helped me as an add on and with spasm recovery/prevention. It feels great, but I would say don't expect it to completely prevent spasms - especially on its own. Also not necessary to buy a super expensive massage gun, budget ones will probably be just as effective.

[@haqinc]

@@innertamement Hey thanks for this update. I had a long skate session in the cold and my hamstrings were spasing out and my massage gun was able to relieve that cramp when I got home.

[@charlescampbell1163]

I do and for me the massage gun works great. I've had life long issues with calf cramps, especially at night but also during exercising (cycling was the biggest trigger). I use the massage gun on my calves twice a day, once in the morning and then at night right before I go to bed. What I do is massage both calves for a few minutes, get up and do some gentle stretching, and then massage both calves again. That's it! For anyone considering getting a massage gun I suggest getting a cheap one at first to see if you get good results. A cheap massage gun is likely to shake itself to pieces in a few months so if you have a good outcome plan on replacing it with a quality unit. I purchased a unit from Theragun about 18 months ago and I couldn't be happier.

[@clarissac1518]

Could you also show which attachment works best for which muscle? I use only the ball but would like to learn if the other attachments would be better, ie shoulder, back etc....Thanks!!

[@matthewpooleacp]

Ball is good for large muscle groups, the "air cushioned" one is probably the same or for medium muscle groups, the pointed one is good for pinpointing treatment, but can be quite intense. Honestly, you could go by how it feels. It shouldn't be painful beyond the discomfort a deep tissue massage I would say.

I thought I had plantar fasciitis, but after my Dr. had me get X-Rays, it's actually calcific tendonitis. In my researching, I've found out about deep tissue massagers. I'm really hoping this helps, because the last two weeks of physical therapy hasn't helped, and because I'm still in pain, they keep pushing more and more exercise, and it's causing my ankle to hurt. I just want to break up the calcification, and get rid of this horrible pain in my heel!

[@swisstrader]

I’ve had the theragun Elite for a few months now and it’s and absolute game changer. Anytime I feel even the slightest tingle of pain, I pull out the gun and seconds later the pain is gone. I had bursitis in my hip joint for months and after 2 days w the gun, it’s completely back to normal. I also just use it to relax because it feels great just to give yourself a full body massage. One word of warning: do not spend anymore than a few seconds or up to a minute on one particular area. If you do, it will most definitely be sore the next day. Had soreness in my calf muscle and went to town with the gun and put too much pressure on and for too long and next day I paid the price! Best purchase for me in a long time and while I still go for professional massage, this is a great tool for recovery and has a fun factor as well.
