10 Massage Gun Dangers!! NEVER Use Like This!

Bob and Brad discuss massage gun dangers and how you should never use them.

Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words.I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) & I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better.Thanks Bob.

I was injured by one used by a chiropractor! He put it on a high setting at the top of my neck on the right side, again and again. I told him it hurt a little, but he said he was trying to move the axis. Months later, my right arm went paralyzed! I got an MRI and had developed a lesion on the spinal cord! He gave me complimentary lazer therapy, but it didn't help. I stopped going to him. With time and other treatments, it improved. But 13 years later, my hand still goes numb.

Oh man, Ive been doing so many wrong things😮 Well thank you Lord for leading me to this video 🙏🏾

[Gothboy]

Me watching this while I have the deep massage gun on my neck : 👁👄👁

[draconas]

slept on my neck weirdly and it hurt for days, I used the massager lightly from the back of my head to just under my ear, not going near the arteries in the front. after about 20 minutes whatever was messed up worked out and I could finally pop my neck. risky but I tried everything else up to that point to no avail

[daspecialist]

Maybe go a little bit in depth as to why we shouldn't use it on certain areas would greatly appreciate it thank you for your work you guys are awesome

I am a security officer who walks between 15 to 20 miles in a 24 hour period and the Q2 does wonders on my legs. Calves in particular are usually so stiff and sore the day after a shift, and I honestly feel better after 20 mins on my legs. I do feel pain (soreness) initially using the massager but I keep it at level 1 and then go to level 3 after a few minutes.

My Bob & Brad C2 gun arrived last night!!!! I love it - I used it briefly on my shoulder prior to bed and didn't have any pain while sleeping. I haven't tried all the features and attachments yet, but I will say that the unboxing was impressive - it's high quality, comes in a nice case, well packaged. I appreciate the user manual. So far, very happy with my purchase and happy to support y'all - I really enjoy your videos.

Yeah be very careful in the neck area. I used a Theragun around my neck and I don't know if I hit an artery or something and I swear I had an irregular heartbeat for a couple of minutes and then it went back to normal.

These companies should provide better warning about areas to avoid.

[lesleylesley]

I am guilty of some of these. I used it all around my jaw and head for clenching and I actually lost most of the hearing in one ear for about three days and it slowly came back. I also dug it deep into the piriformis and around the pelvic bones and am now going for physio, for inflammation from overdoing it. It became very sore all of a sudden too, after using it too vigorously for a week. Keep off boney areas unless using the soft head.

Do not use on neck. A family member died after doing this from a huge brain bleed which I believe was caused by a carotid dissection.

[TheRentFan]

I definitely disagree with the abdominal area. I have a ton of postpartum adhesions from my pregnancy 2 years ago, and I cannot build core strength for the life of me. I whipped out my TheraGun before a Pilates workout, and lo and behold, I cranked out roll ups and planks like they were nothing. I did the same workout less than a week later without massaging first, and I had a lot more trouble.

[elberthiggins]

And then there was this man who went to an emergency room in Manchester, England (reported in the Lancet) with one of these lodged in an internal organ between his gluteal muscles. And, it was still vibrating. You all forgot to mention that possibility.

[JamieJB]

Is there no exception to the neck? Either side of the spine at the bottom of the neck, with the split head piece, it feels so good and seems to help me a lot. I respect your advice and take it into consideration but with care, I do find it has helped to relieve recent tension and headaches. Thanks guys 😁

[comdrive]

I got gifted a massage gun! (yay) but there was literally no warnings in the manual about where to use and avoid useage on the body.. you'd think there woudl be like 10 tips... anywho glad for youtube existing!!

[itswesley]

I just purchased one and I am now watching some videos to prepare myself on what to do and what not to do. Great video!

[RichArtLove]

I get tons of relief and no issues using an air head tip on the jaw joints, and the rear sides & top of the neck, and all around the skull - places you clearly advise against. Now I'm confused as to why not. Working these spots are the main reason I have this gun. Now What?

[HyperCircle]

I healed myself from being hit by a car when 10 and then hit from behind by a car when 25. After 15 years, discoveted these, and I was able to undo what many profesionales could not.

Some are good. Some are bad. I have a theragun 4 pro. I learned so much I became a myofascial massage specialist. Lots of glutes and piriformis work helping people live without pain.

[citizenstrife]

I just bought a $120-$160 version of the Bob and Brad gun, and I do go on the neck, but only the sides and lower traps with the air cushion. I also notice on the arm, anytime there's a huge vibration, it's probably a bone. So I definitely don't go too far up the arm. Thank you for reiterating a lot of the dangers of this tool. As useful as it is, it can be problematic.

[FitLabb]

Solid & 💯% accurate advice! I’m a big fan of massage guns for most people, but there are definitely some important scenarios like the ones you highlighted where they shouldn’t be used.

I would add that if someone is taking blood thinners, is pregnant, or has any issues like thrombosis they should also avoid using a massage gun.

[lizhall]

You provide useful info! I found a massage gun actually improves circulation and neuropathy (non diabetic) in my legs and feet, but I use the lightest setting,
