Why Use the Massage Gun on the Calf?

• The foam roller and/or massage ball can be too sore for you i.e. there’s too much pressure going into the muscle
• The foam roller is difficult to use because your shoulders aren’t strong enough to hold you up, so you can’t effectively target the calf
• You can vary the intensity when using the massage gun:
  • Either increase or decrease the speed on the massage gun
  • Or change the pressure of the massage gun on the calf (the harder you press the massage gun into the calf, the more uncomfortable it can be)
• You might not be comfortable getting a massage from somebody else, you’d rather do it on your own at home
