Massage guns have been described as the must have wellness accessory for 2023, but it is important to note the risks these powerful devices pose if used incorrectly.
Massage guns are particularly dangerous when used on or near the neck as the vibrations can damage the carotid artery and affect blood flow to your brain, potentially causing a stroke.
The devices should only be used in short, brief spells directly on healthy muscles and never on any bones, wounds, injuries, or near pacemakers.
It is worth checking that any health practitioner is insured and trained to use such tools and if you experience any discomfort during its use, you immediately stop the treatment and seek medical help.
If you have been injured by a massage gun and need some advice, why not call SC Law on 0208 966 1299 or visit www.sclaw.co.uk and see if we can help you.
