Are mini massage guns effective?

Yes, for surface-level muscle tension and trigger points. They are less effective for deep tissue work on large muscles. For neck, forearms, calves, and feet, a mini gun is often preferable to a full-size gun due to control and precision.

How often should I use a massage gun?

Daily is fine for recovery. Limit to 2 minutes per muscle group per session. Avoid using on the same spot for more than 30 seconds continuously. Listen to your body — stop if you feel pain rather than relief.
