Many massage therapists believe that only their hands should be used during a massage session. Why, when so many tools can effect
benefits for clients and also alleviate the therapist’s own work-related pain? One such tool is the massage gun, a handheld percussive
instrument that can be used for spot treatments and is especially effective for deeper work.
A MASSAGE GUN CAN GO DEEP
Massage therapists we spoke to say they use a massage gun
for spot treatments, on tissue that needs something extra. “I
use them only for deeper work and they are very effective
when someone is extremely tight, like they have a muscle
contracture that’s really tense,, it’s almost
a deep vibration and it’s helpful to be able to get in there and
release that deep, tense muscle.” This deep, percussive effect
is achieved because of massage guns’ design: Like a little
jackhammer, it delivers bursts of vibration very rapidly.
CLIENTS LOVE MASSAGE GUNS
A massage gun is a percussive instrument, meaning it puts
vibration into the body. This vibration can help break up adhesions
and simply feels great. For the bariatric client who may not be
entirely satisfied with hands only, for example, a massage gun
provides deep therapy, Plus, massage guns generally don’t plug in—they use a
rechargeable battery—so a cord won’t drag on the client. “The
customers really like it, they say good things about it,
The client will get so much more out of each treatment [when
a massage gun is used], We know through
scientific research that percussive therapy provides a longer-
lasting, deeper treatment than manual therapy alone.”

A MASSAGE GUN PROVIDES SELF-CARE
Do you ever experience pain or tightness
in your own body? Have you developed
trigger points in your shoulders, arms or
back? Do your hands or forearms some–
times hurt? A massage gun can address
all such complaints. With multiple settings,
a massage gun can be customized for
your desired level of depth and vibration.
It can reach any area of your body and
provide pain relief when you are between
receiving massage sessions. Massage
guns come in various weights with various
settings.

A MASSAGE GUN CAN SAVE YOUR HANDS
Using a massage gun alleviates stress on the massage
therapist’s body, especially when clients ask you to go deeper.
“I’ve been a therapist for nearly 20 years and this is a good
way to save your hands if you have some very dense tension
going on,” . “It’s a great way to save the stress on
your own body.” The massage therapist can choose where,
and for how long, to use the massage gun. “There are multiple
attachments and speeds to allow full control,”
“The gun can get on one area in 10 minutes versus 30 minutes
of therapy.” The Massage Device
features a light, compact design—helpful for the
onsite or mobile massage therapist. . “Being
a massage therapist is very physically demanding. By simply
incorporating percussive therapy throughout my massages, I
have had the opportunity to work in this field for much longer—
and it allows me to be more effective for my clients.
