Massage gun FAQs
What do the specs mean — amplitude vs. stall force?
Amplitude (in millimeters) is how deep each stroke travels — deeper strokes reach bigger muscles. Stall force (in pounds) is how much pressure you can apply before the motor bogs down. For deep tissue you want both to be generous.
Are massage guns safe to use?
Generally yes on big muscle bellies: quads, glutes, hamstrings, lats. Avoid bones, joints, the front of the neck, and anything recently injured. Start on the lowest speed and keep sessions to a minute or two per muscle group.
How loud are they, really?
Most brushless models hum at 40-55 decibels on low speeds — roughly conversation level, quiet enough for a shared apartment. They get noticeably louder at max speed; that's normal.
Can I use a massage gun every day?
Short daily sessions are common, but rest days still matter — percussion adds stimulus on top of your training. If a spot stays sore or bruised, back off and give it time.
