Using a massage gun correctly with the Crenot Thunder Z6
- A massage gun delivers rapid percussive strokes that help loosen tight muscles before and after exercise.
- Crenot Thunder Z6: brushless motor, 12 mm amplitude, 3,500 ± 200 RPM, 9 levels, 4 heads, 60° adjustable head.
- How to use it: start low, glide slowly over the muscle belly for about 1–2 minutes per muscle group, and avoid bones, joints, the head and the front of the neck.
How does a massage gun work?
The head moves back and forth very quickly, delivering continuous strokes into the muscle. Amplitude is how far the head travels with each stroke: the larger it is, the deeper the effect. With 12 mm of amplitude, Thunder Z6 reaches deep into large muscles such as the thighs, calves and back, helping release tightness after training or long hours of sitting.

Choosing level and time
- Before training: low to medium level, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per muscle group to warm up.
- After training: medium level, about 1–2 minutes per muscle group, gliding slowly along the muscle.
- After long hours at a desk: a low level on the back of the shoulders and upper back, gently, without pressing hard.
Thunder Z6 has a sensor that adds force on tight muscles; simply hold it and let the head glide, without pressing hard.
Which head to use
The four soft polyurethane heads are each optimised for a muscle group. In general, larger heads suit large muscles such as thighs and glutes, smaller heads suit local tight spots, and no head should be placed on the spine. The 60° adjustable head helps you reach your back and shoulders without twisting your wrist.
Where not to use it
- Not directly on bones, joints, the spine, the head or the front of the neck.
- Not on injured, bruised, swollen or inflamed skin.
- Ask a doctor first if you are pregnant, have a heart condition or a pacemaker, a fracture, osteoporosis, joint or spine problems, or a malignant tumour.
