1. Move along the muscle lines

Anyone who has ever cut meat knows that muscles have lines. Just cutting the knife will make the meat unbearable. The same is true for humans. When using a fascia gun, remember to massage along the direction of the muscles. Don't press it once. On the left, hit the right at once, not only the relaxation effect will be reduced, but also the wrong place may cause damage.

It is recommended to change the staying time of the Mini Portable Fascia Gun according to the gun tip. For example, the tip area of ​​the vertebral head is smaller and the strength is more concentrated, and the use time is about 3 minutes; the spherical gun tip, because of the larger area, can hit the muscles. More average, it can be extended to 5 minutes.

3. Don't have too much strength

The fascia gun uses vibration to hit the outer skin → fat → fascia, and finally reaches the muscles. Because the skin is the first to receive the force, when high shock waves and strong pressure are applied, it may cause epidermal tissue Bruises and even slight lacerations to the muscles!
