TAKE ME THEREAre you in pain or in need of a relaxing massage? Don't have the time or the opportunity to visit a physio? The massage gun is the tool that can allow you to live your life to the fullest.
When physiotherapists and chiropractors started using it, we saw the potential of the tool. We then refined and improved the massage gun. We made it available to people in their everyday lives. The result were the giants of the market: the Flowgun One, Flowgun PRO 2.0, Flowgun GO 2.0 and Flowgun Pocket.
Our massage guns enable your active lifestyle. Learn more about our Flowguns and which one is best for you.
A massage gun is an auxiliary tool designed to simplify and make accessible self-administered massage. In general, a massage gun consists of a handle, a percussion arm, an interchangeable massage head and a battery-powered motor. The motor produces vibrations to the nozzle which in turn form powerful blows to the part of the body to which the massage gun is directed. The fast and high-intensity strokes allow the massager to provide a massage sensation far beyond traditional massage.
With high-intensity impact massage, the massage gun softens connective tissue, increases blood circulation, and loosens muscle knots. You can use the massage gun to relax, as an addition to your warm-up, for injury prevention and rehabilitation or for recovery of tired muscles. What's more, a massage gun is portable, giving you access to massage anytime, anywhere.
Use the massage gun whenever you experience pain, discomfort or stiffness - you'll feel the difference. The massage gun is for those who want to live a life without limitations.
Massage has positive effects on the body. Among other things, massage prevents and relieves muscle aches, counteracts stress, strengthens the immune system, and increases blood circulation. The massage gun can therefore be used to complement relaxation, effective warming, improved mobility, and optimised recovery.
If you have the desire to live a life of movement, but find that you are limited by your body, you should have a massage gun.
The massage gun gives you a moment to relax in a hectic everyday life. Massage has many physiological benefits, but the benefit of enjoying a moment and taking care of yourself is perhaps the greatest.
Anyone can use a massage gun. It can be used for a variety of purposes – to complement recovery or for relaxation. Or as we like to put it: “For athletes and everyone else.”
As there are no known adverse physiological effects of massage (quite the opposite!), you can use a massage gun daily if you wish. For safe use, we recommend to start massaging the major muscle groups first and avoid sensitive areas. We also recommend increasing the intensity of the treatment gradually.
Our massage guns cost as follows.
Flowgun PRO 2.0 - For the pros: €399
Flowgun One - The premium option: €329
Flowgun GO 2.0 - For everyone: €279
Flowgun Pocket - On the move: €230
Start by selecting the nozzle best suited to the treatment you are looking for. Different nozzles have different purposes and perform different functions. If you're looking for a relaxing treatment, a soft massage head is preferable, while a hard or pointed massage head is better if you want to go deep into the muscle and treat a trigger point, for example.
Then select the impact strength/treatment program. You can adjust the intensity during the treatment depending on how you feel about the treatment. Some body parts and problem areas are more sensitive than others and need to be treated more gently and vice versa.
To massage the muscle, move the massage gun lightly over the area you want to treat. The important thing to remember when using a massage gun is to start the treatment gently and then gradually increase the intensity and the number of times you use it. As with many things, it is a matter of getting your body used to it slowly.
Make sure to massage each different body part in intervals. Our recommendation is not to massage in one place for more than a minute at a time. If an area feels too tender for spot treatment, you can massage around it to relieve tension and pain.
Massaging with a massage gun is effective. When muscles and ligaments are exposed to the treatment, the surrounding connective tissue is softened. You experience less stiffness and increased mobility. The intensity of the impact massage releases tension and increases the body's blood circulation. Other massage tools or hands cannot massage with the same effect as a motorized head and therefore do not reach as deeply into the tissue.
If you don't know what to look for, it's a good idea to look at the following: battery life, impact force, stroke length, weight, nozzles, and treatment program.
Battery life
If you plan to massage a lot, for a long time and often, it may be a good idea to choose a massager with a long battery life, to avoid the risk of running out of battery power in the middle of a treatment. Our Flowguns have a battery life of up to eight hours. How long the battery lasts after charging depends on the program and the force with which you massage. Generally, the charging time is around four hours.
Impact
Impact is what determines how deep the massage will be. The higher the impact force, the deeper the massage. Our Flowguns have an impact force between 1400 and 3200 strokes per minute. The number of strokes varies depending on the treatment program chosen.
Treatment programme
Different areas of the body need different types of treatment, depending on the size of the muscle and the cause of the pain. A larger muscle may benefit from a stronger treatment program, for example. Our Flowguns have between four and six treatment programs.
Stroke length
The stroke length is the length that the stroke reaches before the engine stops. Our Flowguns have a stroke length from 8 to 12 mm.
Weight
To avoid muscle fatigue during use and to be able to take the massage gun wherever you go, it is important that it does not weigh too much. Our Flowguns weigh between approximately 500 and 970 grams.
Nozzles
Just as the treatment can be varied in the form of different treatment programs, the massage can be varied using interchangeable nozzles.
Flowgun One: 8 nozzles
Flowgun PRO 2.0: 6 nozzles
Flowgun GO 2.0: 6 nozzles
Flowgun Pocket: 4 nozzles
Here you can read how massage guns can help with various problems and ailments.
A new era has arrived, with products like Flowgun being used to relieve muscle pain and discomfort and treat soft tissue. But how does Flowgun actually work?
Sciatica is a collective name for a range of symptoms in different parts of the body. It mainly affects the back and legs because that’s where the nerve fibres that form the sciatic nerve converge.
One way to treat heel spurs is through massage. Massaging the area can help both in the short and long term, as it can provide immediate pain relief and act as a preventative measure.
Fascia is really a type of connective tissue, the thin membrane of tissue that binds together all the components of our body. In the past, it was believed that the only task of the fascia is to keep everything in place, but in recent years it has become clear that it actually has more functions than that.

A massage gun is an effective tool to use after a workout. The vibrating massage generates waves in different frequencies, that contributes to increased blood circulation and reconstruction of damaged tissue through higher activity in the cells.
Common areas that become tight during the day and after training are calves, the ligament/thigh muscle, and shoulders/trapezius. When recovering a muscle, it is important to first massage the entire muscle at a lower frequency level in order to try to find where in the muscle it is most sore. Once you have found the area, hold the massage gun in that area for at least 30 seconds. This is so that the receptors in the muscles respond to the vibrations and thus relax and reduce the pain.
Before working out, it is recommended to use your massage gun at a lower frequency with a weaker pressure. If you massage too intensely and deeply before training, there is a risk that you lower your tone, ie the muscle tension/explosiveness that is in the muscles.
Run at the lowest level (1400 rpm) and massage topically around the entire muscle for about 30-60 seconds. This contributes to increased mobility by releasing tension in the connective tissue (Myofascial release). The vibrations also contribute to increased circulation and body temperature in the selected area. With this as a routine, together with a good physical warm-up, you have good conditions for a more effective workout.
A massage gun is an excellent tool for initiating recovery. The power of the massage gun causes it to go deep into the connective tissue and in this way loosens tension and stimulates the fascia. With a lower strength, the massage gun can be used to warm up the muscle and with a higher strength to treat trigger points.
In addition to the price, the clearest difference with each massage gun is in their highest vibration level, where Flowgun PRO 2.0 reaches about 240 watts, Flowgun GO 2.0 about 180 watts and Flowgun Pocket 100 watts. With that said, you get the most powerful massage with Flowgun, but Flowgun Go and Flowgun Pocket are also powerful enough to meet most needs.
With Flowgun PRO 2.0, the possibilities to adapt the treatment are slightly more, as the frequency of the 5 different speed levels ranges between 1400-3200 rpm at 5 different speed levels, while Flowgun GO 2.0 has a range of 2000-3200 rpm, and Flowgun Pocket a range of 2000-3200 rpm.
We usually say that Flowgun PRO 2.0 is mainly for elite athletes, those who work in the physio industry or those who are in need of extra hard massage. Flowgun Go 2.0 is good enough for the average Joe, those who want to improve their performance and recovery, at a very good price. Flowgun Pocket is perfect for those who want to combine strength and agility in the form of a small, portable and high-quality massage gun.
The lumbar spine is an area where you can usually feel pain. It is very common and affects about 80% of the population at some point. You usually feel tension, ache or stiffness in the back. You usually get pain in your lower back if you added too much pressure when lifting heavy or been sedentary during a long period of time.
A massage gun is excellent to use on the lumbar spine. The massage gun helps to dissolve tension and trigger points that can occur in the lumbar spine. Massaging the lumbar spine is the best way to get rid of the pain because massage increases circulation and makes your muscles relaxed. As the area can be difficult to reach on your own, you can take the help of a friend!
One of the most common causes of calf pain is a muscle strain, something that often occurs when the muscle is oaverloaded.
A massage gun is an effective tool to use when treating such injuries. It is recommended to start gentle and slowly increase the power applied as the pain gets better. The massage allows for muscle stimulation and acts as a pain relief. Moreover, a massage gun increases the blood circulation in the area of use, something that helps the recovery process.
Studies have shown that 10 minutes of massage every day gives good effects and can reduce pain by 30%. In addition, the body produces hormones dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin which can go up by 30%. The stress hormone cortisol has also been shown to go down by about 30%.
In other words, you can massage every day!

A massage gun can be used on horses. Just like humans, horses also need treatment for their muscles. Studies have shown that horses that have had their muscles treated, perform better during their competitions. A massage gun can be used before the competition to warm up the muscles, and also after to start the recovery. It stimulates the muscle and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
A massage gun is a perfect tool for treating runners knee, which usually has to do with overexertion of the structures in the area of pain. When using a massage gun, recovery is initiated, which is a prerequisite to avoid overload. Recovering carries a lower risk of injury.
