Further instructions for use
Self-massage with the FASCIA GUN is very intuitive. This means that you yourself know best
where your tissues need attention.
It is generally best to glide the FASCIA GUN gently over the tissue. Stay on sensitive hotspots/
trigger points for 30 seconds or until tensions ease.
You can use the FASCIA GUN to passively massage tissue by simply applying pressure to your
tissue. Or you can add active mobilisation by moving adjacent body parts at the same time.
For example, while massaging your calf, you can simultaneously bend or stretch your ankle for
an additional mobilisation effect. This combined movement creates shear forces in the tissues
and is more effective in loosening tensions.
Avoid bony areas. Self-massage is designed for the active musculoskeletal system (muscles,
tendons and fascia) and not for the passive musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, interverte-
bral discs). We recommend a low vibration level if you are working close to a bone.
Areas that are difficult to reach (e.g. back and neck) are best massaged by a partner.
You can vary the intensity of the massage by adjusting the angle at which you work your
muscles. When applied vertically, the gentle strokes reach deeper into the tissue. Using the
FASCIA GUN at an angle reduces the intensity and is especially suitable for sensitive parts of
the body.
You can use the FASCIA GUN daily for self-massage. We recommend giving yourself a day off
if your tissues feel a little stressed the next day. The best results are achieved with regular use.
