How to Use the Massage Gun on the Quads:

How to Position Yourself

• Long-sitting
  • Legs out straight and sitting upright, the knees can be slightly bent
• Sitting in a chair
  • This puts the muscle on a bit of stretch so could be a little more uncomfortable

Which Attachment to Use

We prefer these two attachments, as it can spread the pressure and make the massage more comfortable:

• The roundhead

• The flat shape

What should be the setting

• 8-10 speed (our massage gun goes from 1-20)
  • Remember, if this speed is too uncomfortable, change the speed to suit your preference

How long should I use it for

• 1-2 minutes

Which area to focus on

• Front of the thigh
• Outside part of the thigh – typically, we find this is the tightest area
• Inner thigh – we don’t tend to find that this gest tight, but try it for yourself to see what it’s like for you

• Important – STOP if there’s any pain
