Frequently asked questions
- Are massage guns safe to use?
- Used on muscle rather than bones, joints or injuries, massage guns are generally safe for most people. Those with health conditions should seek medical advice first.
- What does stall force mean?
- Stall force is the pressure needed to stall the motor. Higher stall force lets you press deeper into muscle without the device stopping, suiting larger muscle groups.
- How long should I use a massage gun for?
- A common guideline is up to about two minutes per muscle group. Keep it moving rather than holding it on one spot, and avoid use on injuries.
