Sheridan, Helfrich, and Marko all recommend using a massage gun in addition to or instead of foam rolling when it comes to resolving minor muscular knots and tense areas. This is because massage guns are more effective than foam rolling. It is important to make sure that you massage your muscles with a massage gun rather than concentrating on your bones or joints.
To ensure that you are able to access the muscles in your shoulders, upper back, and neck without discomfort, you should put the massage gun at a 90-degree angle and ensure that your hand is perpendicular to the handle. This enables you to effortlessly flip the massage pistol over so that it is facing reverse. When you are feeling more comfortable, start with the slowest tempo and intensity level possible, and gradually increase it as you progress. Focus your attention on each location for a period of thirty seconds to two minutes.
It is not recommended that you use a massage gun on your neck if you have a history of strokes. Please seek the advice of a healthcare professional if you are concerned about the risk factors that you have.
