Hand Held Massagers aka Massage Guns are Great, BUT…

Handheld massagers (aka massage guns, massage devices, etc.) are GREAT, but they can’t take the place of a properly trained and experienced Licensed Massage Therapist who is skilled in pain relief massage.

I think these massage devices are effective at reducing muscle tension and increasing circulation, and I even use them in my own Massage Therapy practice, but they can NOT take the place of a Licensed Massage Therapist who is trained and experienced in providing pain relief massage.

A massage gun is a tool, like a hammer.  In the hands of a skilled craftsperson, a hammer can be used to build an effective shelter from the elements, but in the hands of an unskilled person, it really doesn’t do much!  It is the skill and the experience of the person holding the tool that makes all the difference.

Handheld massages are tools that can help the average person get relief from minor aches and pains in the privacy of their own home, but they have limits. Using a massage gun on a sensitive area, like your neck, is dangerous and not advised. If you have neck pain, it would be a better idea to see a Licensed Massage Therapist that is skilled in pain relief massage, than to use a handheld massager on your neck.

Handheld massagers are great for caring for small, painful areas of your body, that you can reach. If you’re experiencing pain that is impacting your ability to move or you’re experiencing pain in an area that you can’t reach, or an area that is dangerous for you to address with a massager, it might be time to seek out the assistance of a Licensed Massage Therapy who is skilled in pain relief massage.
