How to Use Massage Gun on Back

Itchy or painful sensations in the back can be a troublesome issue, and a massage gun is a useful tool for relief. However, since we don't regularly have access to our backs, which house one of our most important components, the spine, it's crucial to exercise caution when using a hand held massager in this area. Let's explore further the precautions to keep in mind when using a massage gun on the back.

 

Identifying Safe Back Areas of Massage

The back is a large and complex area with various muscles and structures. Before using a deep tissue massager gun on your back, it's important to identify the areas that can massage with the massage gun safely.

Generally speaking, apart from the spine and bony areas, most parts of the back are suitable for massage. The spine and bones have limited muscle protection and cushioning, making them more susceptible to injury from the force of a massage gun. Therefore, it's best to avoid massaging directly over these areas. Instead, focus on the large muscle groups along the sides of the spine, such as the erector spinal muscles, latissimus dorsi, and trapezius muscles.

 

Tips for Massaging Your Back Safely

Prepare: Choose a comfortable position to ensure easy access to your back. You can sit on a chair, lie on your bed, or lean against a wall. Make sure the massage gun is charged.

Choose a Suitable Massage Head: Choose the massage head according to the area you need to massage. If you require a massage for the lower back muscles, both the round head and flat head would be suitable options. If you want to massage the muscles near the spine, you can select the U-shaped head. The U-shaped design allows the massage gun to target the muscles without touching the spine.

Start Low: Begin with the massage gun set to a low speed or intensity. Gradually increase the speed as your muscles become accustomed to the percussive therapy.

Massage Technique: Do not linger in one area for too long during the massage. Massage each area continuously for about 20-30 seconds, then move on to the next area. Repeat this process three to five times. Alternating the massage areas can help reduce the risk of injury.

 

Precautions for Using a Massage Gun on the Back

To ensure safe and effective use of a massage gun on your back, consider the following precautions:

Consult a Professional: If you have any underlying health conditions or concerns, consult a healthcare professional before using a massage gun on your back. 

Pay Attention to Your Body: If you are experiencing any pain or discomfort during the massage, please stop. You can reduce the intensity or move to a different area to test. Everyone's tolerance level may vary, so adjust accordingly.

Pay Attention to the Battery Level of the Massage Gun: Ensure that the massage gun is fully charged before use, rather than using it while it's charging. This action can reduce the battery life and even increase the risk of injury.
