FitGun massage gun – The different attachments and their application

The FitGun massage gun is a versatile tool for muscle relaxation and regeneration, appreciated by both athletes and people with everyday tension. It was specifically developed to loosen tense muscles, promote circulation, and support recovery after physical exertion. It can be a real treat not only after training but also for general tension in everyday life.

Whether you want to relieve deep-seated tension, relax larger muscle groups, or gently massage sensitive body areas – there's a suitable attachment for every need. Some are particularly well-suited for large areas like the back and thighs, while others target specific pressure points. This allows the massage to be either intense or pleasantly gentle, depending on your needs. In this article, you'll learn which attachments come with the FitGun, what effect they have, and how to best use them. This way, you can get the most out of the massage gun to relieve tension, improve your recovery, and do something good for your body in the long term.

1. Ball attachment – the all-rounder

Why is the ball attachment so popular?

The ball attachment is made of a high-quality, durable material that feels comfortable on the skin. Its round shape makes it particularly effective, as it works large muscle groups evenly without exerting unpleasant pressure on bones or joints. This makes it perfect for beginners, as well as for people who regularly use massage for muscle relaxation.

Which muscle groups can be massaged with it?

This attachment is ideal for the following areas:
Large muscle groups such as back, legs and buttocks – perfect after sports or physical exertion
Shoulders and arms to relieve tension caused by long hours of working at a desk or one-sided strain
Calves and thighs to promote blood circulation and reduce muscle soreness

Especially after intensive training sessions, the massage with the ball attachment helps to loosen the muscles and accelerate regeneration.

When should you use the ball attachment?

The ball attachment can be used in various situations:

After training to relax muscles and promote recovery
After a long day at work , to relieve tension and relax the body
Before exercise to gently activate the muscles and improve blood circulation

It's best to perform the massage slowly and adjust the pressure according to your personal preference. The FitGun massage gun offers various intensity levels , allowing you to perfectly tailor the application to your individual needs.

2. Fork attachment – For the neck and spine

What makes the fork attachment so special?

The fork attachment differs from other massage heads in its two rounded ends. This allows it to be used perfectly along the spine or in the neck area without directly pressing on the bones. This makes the massage not only more pleasant but also more effective. The gentle yet targeted vibration helps relieve tension, improve circulation, and promote regeneration.

Which muscle groups is the fork attachment suitable for?

Neck muscles – perfect for relieving tension caused by prolonged sitting or stress
Muscles along the spine – enables targeted massage without exerting pressure on the bones
Calves and Achilles tendon – ideal for athletes to loosen and regenerate muscles

Especially after a long day at the office or an intensive workout, this attachment can work wonders.

When is the fork attachment particularly helpful?

After a long day at work , when the neck is tense
After exercise , to specifically relax the muscles
Before training to relax muscles and stimulate blood circulation
For chronic tension , to specifically treat pain points

Many people who are too sensitive to other massage attachments find the fork attachment particularly comfortable. It provides a precise massage without applying too much pressure to any one area.

3. Flat attachment – For larger body areas

What makes the flat attachment special?

Unlike pointed attachments that work in a targeted manner, the flat attachment provides even muscle stimulation. This is especially beneficial for more sensitive areas that require an intense but not too harsh massage. Applying it over a wide area helps promote circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and increase overall well-being.

Which muscle groups is the flat attachment suitable for?

Thighs & calves – ideal for loosening up after exercise or long periods of sitting
Back & shoulders – relaxes large areas without too much pressure on individual areas
Chest muscles – improves blood circulation and promotes mobility
Arms & glutes – perfect for releasing tension after training

When is the flat attachment particularly helpful?

After exercise to relieve muscle tension and support recovery
After a long day at work , when shoulders and back are tense
For daily relaxation , to promote blood circulation and increase well-being
For more sensitive body areas that require a gentle but effective massage

This attachment is the perfect choice, especially if you find overly intense point massage uncomfortable. It glides gently over the muscles, providing soothing relaxation without exerting unpleasant pressure on bones or joints.

4. Bullet attachment – The trigger point specialist

What makes the Bullet attachment so special?

Unlike wider or softer attachments, the bullet attachment penetrates deeper tissue layers . This allows not only superficial tension to be released, but also adhered fascia and deeper muscle layers to be worked on. This attachment is incredibly effective, especially after intense training sessions or for chronic tension.

Which muscle groups is the bullet attachment suitable for?

Trigger points & muscle knots – perfect for targeted pain treatment
Soles & heels – ideal for a targeted massage for foot tension
Forearms & palms – helps with cramps caused by one-sided strain
Shoulders & neck – relieves deep tension after long working days
Hip and glute muscles – perfect for athletes to regenerate

When is the bullet attachment particularly helpful?

For severe tensions that do not disappear with a normal massage
For the targeted treatment of trigger points and deep muscle knots
After intensive strength training to effectively loosen muscle tension
For problems with the plantar fascia (sole of the foot) to relieve pain
When targeted pressure is needed instead of a large-area massage

Since the bullet attachment exerts very focused pressure, it should be handled with caution. It can be a bit more intense, especially on sensitive areas or directly on bones—so always start with a low setting and increase gradually.

6. Heat attachment – Promotes blood circulation

What makes the heating attachment special?

The heat attachment is more than just an additional function—it significantly enhances the effect of the massage. Heat helps loosen muscles and promotes circulation, which supports recovery after exercise and accelerates the healing process of tension. Especially when combined with vibration, the muscles are reached even deeper, allowing them to relax faster and more intensely. The pleasant warming effect ensures that the body can completely relax, which is especially helpful in times of stress or tension.

Which muscle groups is the heat attachment suitable for?

Shoulders & neck – ideal after a long day at work or for stress-related tension
Back – perfect for relaxing the back muscles, especially in the lower area
Thighs & calves – helps to loosen the muscles after intensive training and accelerates recovery
Arms & Hands – relieves muscle tension and promotes blood circulation, especially after repetitive movements
Abdominal area – helpful for mild abdominal cramps or for general relaxation

When is the heat attachment particularly helpful?

After exercise to relax muscles and promote recovery
For chronic tension , especially in the neck, back and shoulder area
For stress-related tension , when the body needs relaxation after a long work session or a strenuous day
For a soothing, gentle regeneration if you want to treat yourself to some extra relaxation

The heat can be very pleasant on the skin and make the massage even more effective. It's important not to leave the heat attachment on one area for too long to avoid overheating, but when used correctly, it's a great additional feature that makes the treatment especially relaxing.

7. Cold attachment – For fast regeneration

What makes the cooling attachment special?

Cold not only helps promote blood circulation but also has an anti-inflammatory effect . The cold attachment is perfect for relieving muscle inflammation , swelling , or even bruises after intense training or physical exertion. It constricts blood vessels, thereby specifically stimulating circulation and accelerating the healing process. The effect is similar to that of a classic ice pack, but much more precise and targeted with the massage gun.

Which muscle groups is the cold attachment suitable for?

Knee and joints – helps relieve swelling and pain that can occur after intense exercise
Calves and thighs – ideal for soothing muscle tension after an intense workout
Shoulders & neck – especially helpful for acute tension caused by incorrect posture or too much stress
Lower back – relieves pain and inflammation in the lower back area after strenuous exercise
Arms & hands – great if you experience pain from monotonous movements such as typing or repeatedly lifting loads

When is the cold attachment particularly helpful?

Immediately after training to soothe muscles and joints and prevent inflammation
In case of acute injuries such as sprains, bruises or strains
If you suffer from swelling after strenuous activity
For fast regeneration , especially if you want to get your muscles fit again quickly after a hard workout
For people with chronic pain who struggle with recurring inflammation or swelling

By applying the cold attachment in a targeted manner, the refreshing effect can be delivered precisely to the affected area. It's important not to leave the attachment in one place for too long to avoid frostbite – but when used correctly, the effect is incredibly effective and soothing.
