I just bought the massage gun and try to find how to use it properly. Saw your video was very useful. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you the two most important and unique information most don't know is that we need 48 hours between sessions and to avoid higher frequencyies if we are thin..

Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately, I'd used the massage gun on my neck & shoulder area before I found your video.

Thank you coach. Really useful information.

Is it okay on lower abdominal muscles, pelvic floor area, for a male? On light to medium setting, seems ok. Theragun mini 2 looks really good to invest in, proper percussive therapy, not just massage and vibration.

woah this is very strange, i used my massage gun i got for Christmas today, and now this video comes out😂

Is it good for sciatica nerve pain thanks for your help i just bought it

@SportsInjuryPhysio

2 ай бұрын

I can't really answer that without assessing you - ask your physio - they are best placed to know what is right for your case of sciatica.

Hi thank you soo much for that info, do you have any videos how to use or benefit without agrivate the sciatic nerve running from my foot to my sitting bone Or better question how do i know if i aggrivate a nerve?

@SportsInjuryPhysio

4 ай бұрын

Here's how you can decide - Signs that you are aggravating the nerve include: 1. Tingling (or funny sensations) or pain increases while you are using it 2. Or the symptoms increase in the 24 hours after using it If neither of this happens, then it is likely OK to do.

I have chronic compartment syndrome, do you think a massage gun would be a good tool to use?

With regard to chronic conditions that cause cells to be damaged more easily, I think another one is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which I have. So thanks for helping me to realise that I shouldn't be using one! Very useful video

I don't know of any reason not to.

Also avoid cheap massage guns that overheat and explode😮Finally my go to massager is a used tennis ball I found. Works like a charm to relieve pain and there is no sticker shock.

I have CKD is it ok to use the gun as long as I don’t use it over the kidney area?

@SportsInjuryPhysio

4 ай бұрын

I would be cautious because chronic conditions like CKD may make your cells in your body more vulnerable to the strong percussions of the gun. So if you do use it, usa a very light setting but also perhaps check with your doctor before using it.

You mentioned it could cause problems if you have kidney disease, but I can't see the study. Could you please post the study. Thanks

@SportsInjuryPhysio

4 ай бұрын

That contraindication is not from any specific study on massage guns because there really isn't enough research available yet - I just listed examples of conditions that can make people vulnerable to getting cell damage more easily because of the systemic effect on the body. And the reason I did that was because there is enough evidence that massage guns can cause cell damage even in healthy individuals who don't have a systemic condition. The only study so far to show systemic conditions may be a problem is the one that reported a case of rhabdomyolysis in a person with iron deficiency: Chen, J., et al. (2021). "Rhabdomyolysis after the use of percussion massage gun: a case report." Physical Therapy 101(1): pzaa199. You can find all the listed studies in the description - 3 years ago when I made my first video on this subject none of this was yet available, so I hope we will be able to get more direct science backed advice in another 3 from now. But for now, I feel the safest approach is to combined the research from massage guns with evidence from other fields.

Both my sister and I have a lot of pain in our feet especially after a day on our feet. She loved her Theragun to relieve her pain and bought me one for Xmas. Now I am worried to use it on the so,es of my feet.
