Pro tips for using massage therapy devices for the best outcomes:
Try different speeds
Use your FBF Hammer Massage Gun to get ready to stretch before a workout. Keep the device at a low speed (1 to 12) to activate your muscles.
The best speed to help push out lactic acid from your muscles with FBF massage gun for full body massage is 13 to 18, or nearly 38 strokes/second. Lactic acid is often the result of normal metabolism. When there is insufficient oxygen in your blood, such as after a strenuous workout, your body breaks down glucose without oxygen, resulting in lactic acid. It builds up at a faster rate in the tissues than the body can consume, and enters the blood stream, causing cramping pain. FBF Pulse Massage Gun will help eliminate lactic acid for your bloodstream quickly and easily, providing you relief quicker.
Muscle percussion FBF massager gun that delivers higher amplitude is able to hit deeper into your muscles. Even though higher speed directly relates to more intense massage, a percussion massage gun can feel more intense even at a lower speed.
Use different attachments
Depending upon the user and the health objective, different attachment heads can be preferred with FBF hammer massage gun. Standard attachments like ball or bullet head are commonly used for most applications. However, specialized attachments will help you achieve a more complete experience.
Large ball massage head attachment should be used for pre-workout massage as it will cover more muscle groups. A soft, double-layered airlock head with air suppression capability allows for a gentle but firm massage that will not only relax your muscles but also help in achieving a better, deeper sleep.
Attachments with big round head are used on large muscle groups such as glutes and quads, small round head is good for overall use on large and small muscle groups, flat head is perfect for use on shoulder blades while spinal heads are apt for use on the lower back. Core, wedge and thumb attachments are great for working on similar muscle groups due to their shape and size while a fork attachment is better suited to work around sensitive areas including tendons and bones.
Use your massager at different angles and on different muscle groups
It is important to use deep percussion massage gun at the correct angles on different muscle groups as per the user-manual. Do not overuse it on the areas that hurt thinking that you need to stay on them for longer. In fact, if you overuse your massager on vein-artery nerve bundle or a bony prominence, it can result in problems such as numbness in the hands and can even lead to neuropathy. Do not get too trigger-happy with your massager. Use it at appropriate angles on different muscle groups and spend at most a couple of minutes after a workout on each muscle group, such as hamstring muscles, abdominal muscles, pectoral muscles, trapezius muscles, upper body muscles, pelvic floor muscles, calf muscles, etc.
