Do Massage Guns Really Help? | Physical Therapist Reviews Achedaway Massage Gun

Rehab and Revive Physical Therapy is based on hands-on physical therapy treatment. That being said, we don't use a whole lot of tech during the treatments. Dr. Lin's hands are used more than anything else. But we were curious, could a massage gun perform some of the techniques that Dr. Lin does?? Dr. Lin tries out the Achedaway Massage Gun on his shin splints to see just how effective it could be!

This popped up in my feed and I've been using a massage gun for about a year, so I thought I'd leave a comment. I'm an active runner and tennis player. When I first started using the massager, it was instantly game-changing because I was able to find and work out tons of knots in my legs and lower back. Since then, I use it more in "maintenance mode" when I have those sore areas developing, and I also use it to promote circulation to warm up before exercise or recover afterwards. So if you have muscle knots it can make a very quick, large improvement and otherwise it's helpful but doesn't provide any major changes or relief. Overall still very worthwhile and I use it regularly even after a year.

[@GreenRackham]

I used one and it solved my painful tendonitis. I strongly disagree with your statement that it does not provide any major changes. Your experience does not speak for everyone

where from?

[@omshomestead]

From Amazon, Therabody gun is so much more powerful than Bob and brads I use both I take job and Brad in my purse and theraguns for double gunning fully body experience. That’s incredible. Or really deep pin points. Theragun slays in some ways

The massage gun does really work well for me! I had a really bad knee injury last month and went to doctors after doctors they just wanted to do a surgery or just give me pain pills 💊 The massage gun is a life saver for me I started using it now for a week now I can move my leg again and walk again I was In so much pain with my leg I couldn’t walk or stand on it until I started using the massage gun every day this week!! There’s so many KZbinrs make false videos making it sound like the massage gun is bad to use they’re so wrong 💊🙈😎🤘🤔

[@jveronica1729]

I swear by the HyperX gun. My daughter had guillen barre syndrome and left her to deal with pain everyday of her life in the legs. I was spending over 350 a month on massager . Now she uses that and she is skiing and moving around and it has saved me so much money. I swear by the massage gun. dont go cheap. If you live with daily pain you need this.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You made me laugh so I did subscribe. Thanks for sharing this. I did purchase a massage gun and it was the BEST thing I ever did. I had issues with my left knee and paid $3500 for therapy. Therapy was good and I enjoyed it but my knee was still having issues. On Christmas morning, I took my Massage gun and push against the top of my knee (closer to my thigh area), and would you believe me my knee feels great! I am still scared to run or put pressure on my knee. I am moving faster and walking better than ever. I LOVE MY Massage Gun.

[@MrIncorr3ct]

For someone who lifts weights most of the weeks I can say these are fantastic for relieving and reducing DOMS. Feels just fantastic. Apparently its the equivalent to 3 DT massages. You can reach most of your body yourself, and unlike a massage you can target exactly where it hurts with the intensity you want. Its not going to replace physicals therapists but it certainly allows more access to the benefits

[@xylaahto]

Not sure where you have got the comparison to 3 deep tissue massages from but I feel that is highly unlikely. What I would say in regards to DOMS is that it’s main function is to change sensation and reduce nociceptive input from DOMS (reduce pain), but the massage gun is highly unlikely to give circulatory benefits of massage. They can also good for pre-workout as it activates the sympathetic nervous system so would be good in a warm up routine.

[@stewartgrindlay9760]

DOMS is killing me this past 48 hours. So bad

[@martinschultz5596]

Hit the gym a couple of times every week (not just most weeks), and your days of worrying about DOMS will be but a distant memory. Well, maybe you'll still get a little DOMS occasionally when your training changes dramatically, but nothing worth mentioning.

[@pierres3x]

[@semajkeaton331]

Is it a burning pain or swelling?

[@robbyherrington9427]

I agree with the side sleeping comment. If you sleep on your side with your arm stretched out to the front of you, you are overstretched your rotator cuff, rear dealt, and essentially all of those back muscles that stabilize the shoulder joint. You may also want to try strengthening your back muscles and stretching out your chest. I think these things may really help you!

do you use it everyday? Because I don't wanna use mine for a week, then never use it again.

When I use the gun on my gluteus and hips, I can feel “UTI” symptoms being reproduced in my body.
