Great video! I just got my massage gun yesterday and I had no idea what each attachment was for.Thanks for the info.New subbie

[@ibtisamradi]

Very useful and helpful video. Many thanks for you.

[@jackies35]

What an awesome video! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@denisewildfortune4058]

Thanks for confirming my use of the forked attachment. Through discovery, I found it is often the right tool for the job. Excellent commentary!

[@jessa.3857]

The bullet is my favorite. I usually like deep tissue massages and that piece really does the job for my thick skin.

[@god563616]

This is an incredible video and I definitely need it!! I just got a Massage gun from my insurance and everything about it looks scary😂, and I had no clue what to do and this video is the answer. Thank you!

[@charles360]

the attachment you liked best was not included in the package I bought. but ty for the distinction

[@bhaktinagasuru8807]

Hey, that's a detailed review of the massager. Recently, I got this from Costco and was looking for a detailed review and how to use it. I have a severe right shoulder pain due to heavy weight lifting. Hope, this massager and strengthening exercises are gonna help me 😊

[@ashwienharpal2590]

Such a good channel. You got another fan man

Thank you very much. Very informative

[@kseniiamilczanowska4228]

Thank you for such an informative video! Which shape would you recommend for a frozen shoulder? After a therapy a small place between delta and biceps remains unflexible and a bit painfull. Thanks.

[@sawtoothscream1521]

Agree on the last one, that one so far feels the best imo.

[@nonamansour5619]

We need. A practical method on the muscles and the use of each piece so that we can use it correctly and the duration of use. Thank you for the information

[@ammartassawar]

Well done!

[@kajamohideen978]

Fine explained

[@Nobody18718]

Thank you for keeping it simple unlike other videos with lots of talk

[@Carolinec222]

Can massage guns help get rid of muscle knots? Which attachment works well for that?

[@JY-tq4ir]

very informative

[@cathyhall7457]

That is funny because the first video I watched on using a massage again cuz I just bought one. Was the one that you said don't use on your spine and she uses it on the spine

[@eugenedaniels9734]

Very informative, thank you. I just bought my first gun. At 67 I am getting very sore after working out.

[@pinnacleproductions6275]

Hope it’s working out for you. I got one about 4-5 months ago and love it. I use it on my legs the most. It def helps.

[@DANIEL-MELEK]

I'm happy you're working out at 67!!!

[@salvadorflores-martinez1974]

[@elviscoleman5988]

My Mrs bought me one as I have an issue with my left bicep. I believe it’s called tendinpothy? What, if any, attachments would be good to help with this please?

[@royalroy6667]

Nice

[@danstrathman3169]

Just curious if anyone knows the size of the attachments for the FitRX Max Mini massager? I have that with the 4 included attachments but have seen theres other kinds of attachments can buy online but then it lists different sizes for the actual attachment part that goes into the gun itself such as 12MM, 18MM, etc

[@azams17]

how long should you use a massage gun per session? how many times per day?

[@MrFrmartin]

Got a massage gun for christmas, and it came with a bunch of attachments, but not the last one you covered. Mine also came with the shovel one, which i like to use to move blood around, and a shoe looking one with a pointy tip which i have no idea how to use. It also came with an attachment that look like its perfect to go up and down the leg, a wide U shape one. Are attachments sold seperately? and how do you use the shoe looking one?

[@ommuhamad3161]

❤❤❤

[@kwstarasgr8408]

There are massage guns that have cold and hot heads what is each one used for?

[@Rohan_pa6el]

Which attachment to use on spine??

[@khaledasiry4656]

is it good to people have heart problem ?

[@RobertReynolds-mg9bb]

People neeed to know that overuse can cause bloodclots and anuerysms. Also using it on superdicial arteries and veins can as well. Only use in areas that there is no pulse.

[@melissamarshall2065]

Thank you for the helpful information. I just got the truMedic massage gun. Do you know why it would keep shutting off within seconds of turning it on by chance? I charged it before use.

[@RobertReynolds-mg9bb]

Needs charged

[@tammiepease3382]

The first one he used was for cervical spine stiffness

[@RapiDEraZeR]

I have a very different attachment on me for cervix (or cervical) stiffness.

[@fausykamtaura4563]

How can i buy one?

[@kennethcooper3317]

I wanted a cortisone injection in my shoulder the doctor would not give it. So is this safe to use on my shoulder to make it better???

[@lyric_basheatspizza4551]

That one that was flat is called a flat head

[@raul7445]

What features can I look to select a message gun which can massage 15people without charging ???

[@RHCrewReactions]

I came to this video from a doctor's video that was saying to use the fork attachment along the spine lol

[@PTProgress]

I mean you can try it…but I don’t like the idea of missing and jamming it into a spinous process 😅

[@iio8017]

I have a ? Which one can I used for my under feet 🦶

[@pabloalbuquerque4678]

Can massage guns be used too much or too often?

[@savonwilliams1347]

No as much as you need to

[@teresajimenez6693]

El precio

[@nancym.9285]

Do you recommend the smaller massage gun?

[@PTProgress]

Both are great but I like the smaller one more and keep it on our living room side table because we use it so often 😁

[@dctvadventure3069]

Can it be use after workout?

[@sw_antoine]

yes!

[@helenhoward5346]

Smaller bullet heads are excellent for trigger point release in the neck shoulder area. Seriously go for a COMPACT massage gun y'all... Your arms and shoulders (and wallet from wasting it on a standard cumbersome one that SHOULDN'T be indicated for self massage for anyone except big men who can hold that thing like most would a compact (but even then... A compact model is easier to use) will thank you later. The one I use as a slim petite female is "comfier". It's easy for me to use without strain or muscle lethargy (further aggravating or prolonging the process of getting as much stimulation to that relaxed muscle as tolerable. Use massage oil obviously, that'll make it a lot less resistant to pressure. I find the soft attachments do sweet f all. But massage is like plowing the fields to me , I'll go over the problem areas over and over until I can focus in on the point of origin, trigger point, and I might not have that thing on max intensity (although I have... When you could bounce marble off your neck/shoulder intersection region because you've been so sewed up tight... Gentle massage, yeah no. I gotta use a bullet head with plenty of oil (ideally in a heated bathroom) and resort to the desperate platonic satisfaction of repetitive trigger point stimulation. I know, it's the terminology. Perform or manipulate "Self release"......

[@xakirax_8864]

Your method sounds so satisfying , I dont doubt after a session you knock right out 😴

[@luisrosas5694]

Is it ok to use the massage gun 4 weeks after a surgery?

[@barak_ahtha]

Could you also use these with massage oil? Any drawbacks to doing this?

[@AntonFlier]

well, some of the attachments have foam on it, which would get dirty. I if you use a plastic head, it shouldn't be bad.

[@DrsairaNawaz]

Love from Pakistan

[@alejandromedina7331]

My gun doesn't charge any more what I do?

[@rafidali1351]

👍

[@kevin.afton_]

Which gun head is good for the scalp?

[@Bishop0151]

Almost all, if not all, massage guns will have a warning that you should never use them on your neck or skull (scalp). They are for soft tissue massage only. Apparently the use on the neck is uncomfortable and can result in nerve damage. There's just no soft tissue to massage in the scalp, at best you will just give yourself a headache.

[@kevin.afton_]

@@Bishop0151 Thanks.

[@yasmienkhaled7173]

My gun has a head looks like bullet head but it's circled not peaked, also a head with 6 fingers looks mostly like spider how can I use them please?

[@Miss_AriStarry]

I viewed this video to take off the attachment because I can't get mines on. I'm disappointed you didn't show us how to remove it.

[@PTProgress]

Just pull straight off

[@Steph-lo9sj]

Can you use it on your jaw for TMJ?

[@shilpaverma3204]

I have little bit confusion....can I use the ball attachment on my overall face ?

[@majorbison4872]

😂😂 have at it

[@benjamineakin481]

I'm having pain in my right inner thigh just at the top next to the groin. Not the groin, just next to it. Do you have a suggestion for best attachment for this? Right now, I'm using the flat round. Thanks.

[@titorivera9970]

I had the same pain years ago. It was a hernia

[@judithmiller7308]

Just fyi, the like function isnt working today.

[@safiaali5037]

Please highlight the adverse effects of its use. Thank you

[@laryangel4082]

E

[@tammiepease3382]

Folks... Inside your product there should be a manual and a pamphlet that has the attachment photo and what it is for....

[@tiagrantham3693]

ya, mine didn't.

[@903marr9]

Mine didn’t come with one smarty pants…..

[@alishathehistorynerd9726]

I didn’t receive one

[@rodbott7912]

They only give a very generic description, not informative at all.

[@davidclixby5840]

Just bought one from Amazon and it did have a booklet with all the photos of each attachment and what they are for so it just depends on the one you buy I suppose.

[@sbellosa]

who's massaging their wrist?

[@Aadhyaapandey]

Thanks Tim I bought this gun for my mother and I was very confused but u helped me a lot 🩷
