@heydrrob: Stop using a massage gun incorrectly ‼️ • • 🤔 If you’ve been using a massage gun to address knee pain, you might want to reconsider your approach. Contrary to popular belief, simply using the gun on your knee may not be effective. Instead, it’s crucial to target specific areas to address the root of the problem. • • ‼️ Many knee issues stem from tightness in the tendons surrounding the knee. To effectively alleviate this tightness, it’s essential to move fluid towards the heart, rather than away from it. This prevents swelling from worsening. • • 👌🏼 Here’s a proper strategy: Focus on the patellar tendon, located between two points near your knee. Spend about a minute massaging this area to loosen the tendon and alleviate tension. • • ✅ Shift your attention to the quad tendon. Apply firm pressure and move upwards towards the heart. This action helps loosen the quad tendon, providing relief for knee pain. • • ✅ By following this method, you’re not only addressing the symptoms but also working towards long-term improvement in knee health. So, next time you reach for your massage gun, remember to target these specific areas for optimal results. • • 🙋🏻‍♂️Questions?
