We are going to look at the Deep Tissue Muscles Massage Gun and its 6 different heads that can be used not only to heal muscles faster but also get rid of tight knots.

There are three variables that help you choose which head to use on your massage gun.

The No. 1 is on what size muscle mass will you be using the head. Let us give you an example to be clearer. Using the massage gun on your hamstrings will require a different massage head than if you will be using the gun on your elbow.

The No.2 will be the proximity of the massage to the bone. You need to get more careful when getting closer to the bone. If you will be using the massage gun on your quadriceps, and you get close to the patella – where the tendon is – or the kneecap, you definitely will not be using the same head on your massage gun.

Third and last variable will be the severity of the injured muscles. If you just injured a muscle, had a muscle strain or minor tear, you should not get aggressive on it right away. But instead, massage around the zone and let it settle for 1-2 days first.

Now that we’ve gone through the different variables, let’s have a look at the standard heads available with the Deep tissue Muscles Massage Gun to heal muscles faster and get rid of tight muscles.

Ball Head – For large muscles group like back, chest, hips

Spade-shaped Head – For whole body bones muscles relaxation

U-shaped Head – For spine, neck, shoulder (sensitive muscles or bony areas)

Flat Head – For all parts of the body: waist, back and arm

Thumb head – For soft tissue

Bullet Head – For deep tissue: acupoints, tendons, joints, palms, soles

Bottom-line is that if you choose the right head to heal your injured muscle or to remove tight knots all the while applying the required pressure you will be surprised on how efficient this new mechanical device can be.
