Fascia guns are very popular now. I want to buy them but I don't know how to buy them. I am afraid that I will eat ashes at home. What should I do?

1. As a fitness coach, and someone who has bought 3 fascia guns for himself and more fascia guns for family and friends, I can tell you: the role of fascia guns, follow the bubble axis, or go to a massage parlor Similar, that is, by physically stimulating the deep muscles. The fascia gun uses the high-frequency vibration of the massage head to drive the muscles to passively move and warm up, so that the muscles and fascia relax and relax.

2. The full name of the fascia gun is the muscle fascia relaxation massage gun. Fascia is a membranous tissue that wraps muscle fibers, muscle bundles, and even the entire muscle. Both muscle and fascia are involved in the exertion of muscle strength. Usually poor posture, overtraining, insufficient rest, and insufficient nutrition will lead to a decrease in the elasticity of the fascia, and even trigger points of the fascia (Triggerpoint), that is, when you go to massage, press the point that is particularly painful.

3. Compared with foam roller and massage, the advantage of fascia gun is that it is more convenient. For example, the bubble axis is often massaged by the body's own weight or requires a specific posture, but the use of the fascia gun is less restricted; especially for certain muscles, the bubble axis is too much. It is difficult to press the correct position. For example, many people have round shoulders and chest. In fact, the pectoralis minor muscle is too tight. To improve the round shoulder and chest, the pectoralis minor muscle needs to be relaxed, but the position of the pectoralis minor muscle is almost It is difficult to press, and the fascia gun can massage this muscle better.

4. For those with high exercise intensity and high exercise frequency, the fascia gun will make people feel more convenient. After all, it will be a bit troublesome to use the foam shaft to relax after each exercise. Fascia guns can also help with pre-workout warm-ups.

5. Note that the fascia gun cannot reduce local fat. Don't be deceived by the idea of using the fascia gun to thin the calf.

6. The price of fascia gun ranges from hundreds to tens of thousands, and the price difference can often reflect the difference in configuration.

7. If conditions permit, it is recommended to buy a thousand yuan (or close to thousand) fascia gun. The motors of this grade of fascia gun are generally imported brushless motors, intelligent control AI chips, and imported long-lasting lithium batteries. Such a fascia gun motor is more powerful, and the massage and relaxation effect will be better. Some 100-yuan fascia guns use brushed motors, which not only lack power, but also have poor handling of noise and heat dissipation, resulting in poor user experience.

8. The number of revolutions and the vibration amplitude are related to the quality of the vibration massage effect. It is recommended to choose a fascia gun with an amplitude > 10mm.

9. Noise and weight are related to user experience. It is recommended to choose a fascia gun of about 1kg; the noise of a good fascia gun is usually around 30-45 decibels.

10. Finally, attach my recommended method of using the fascia gun: first install the massage head with a large contact area, and slowly slide the fascia gun along the lines of the muscle fibers. During this process, look for the trigger points, and start with a low-grade , gradually adjust to a higher frequency gear, the trigger point pain reaches 6~7 points (assuming that the pain range is 1~10), and sometimes the trigger point will be deeper and cannot be found with a large massage head, this You can change to a massage head with a small contact area, which can stimulate deeper muscles, and use the same method to find the trigger point, with the gear first low and then high. Sliding on each part for 2 to 5 minutes, the sore place can stay longer.
