- Percussive Massage Therapy using a massage gun (aka a percussion massager) for knee pain relief uses fast, soft pulses over a short amount of time to get deep down into the muscle fibers. Buy the iReliev Percussion Massager at: ireliev.com/product/percussio... (affiliate link)
The continuous taps help muscles relax and heal. A massage gun works great to help relieve knee pain. Focusing on the muscles around the knee will help loosen up the area and relieve pain. The quads, IT band and tensor fasciae latae (TFL), hamstrings, calves, and even the anterior tibialis are the main muscles that cross the knee joint or affect the knee joint when tight or not balanced.
Like a traditional massage, a percussion massager helps to reduce inflammation and increasing circulation. It can help relax tight muscles, break up scar tissue and adhesions, and minimize muscle soreness and tension. Some studies have found percussive therapy to be as effective as massage in preventing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness).
In this video, I’m using the iReliev Wireless Percussion Massager. In addition to being wireless, the unit is very quiet, and it comes with four different head attachments to target various areas. It also includes a nice carrying case to keep everything organized and in one place.

Awesome tips.
Just watched a video from 8 years ago about back stretching, great to see you still going strong! Thanks for the help
Thanks, and you're welcome.
Hi Dr Jo. I’m glad you incorporated this device onto your videos. I’ve been wondering if they are actually effective, but safe, or how to avoid injury while using one. I’d love to see a longer video with some basic education about how they work :)
Thanks for the videos. You’ve helped me work through several injuries. You’re brilliant 😀
You're welcome, and thanks.
Me, watching this as I lay in my bed, wanting to stroll to the shower with thighs aching a little after commuting through ten train stations from my school, walking on foot for 25 minutes before calling a pedicab ride home:
Thank you I was looking into this device. Thank you for the info. 👍🏽
You’re welcome.

What areas of leg/knee should I focus on for Osgood Schlatters?
Let’s get her to a million please!!
😎
Just tried it on my leg like she showed I can straighten my knee ! With little to know pain before it always stayed slightly bent and hurt to bend
Thanks 😊😀☺🙂🤗
You're welcome.
Which model do you think is today the best? I understand that the stall force (the force that you need to stop the movement) and the amplitude of movement are the 2 most important factors... For example the theragun has 16mm of excursion amplitude and a very hight stall force...
Does the i Reliev work as we well on people with low muscle mass?
do you think this could be of benefits for chronic pain? such a shoulder impingement or patellar tendinitis? currently the 2 main pain i have due to poor form and overtraining in the last decade :(
Hi Doctor jo
I have a neck pain then Which exercise do you think I should to do?
🎉Thank you!!❤❤❤
You're welcome!
omg thx dr jo
You're welcome.
I wonder if it can be used for lymphatic system.
Hello Doc! Can I use the Percussion massager for other pain like shoulder pain, etc. thanks so much
So my knee makes a crunching sound when flexing i can even feel grittiness when my hands are on it is there a chance the cause is structural
the sound comes comes from under the kneecap
Hi Dr Jo, found your videos very useful. Have muscle spasm and can I use the gun massager? Thx
Well, can they?
Can u use this on 🦶🏻 feet?
I fractured my knee nearly 4 weeks a ago and have an mri scan next week, I am wearing one of those ROM braces so it prevents me from trying to bend my knee, my thigh and calf muscles feel like I have no muscle because I haven’t used them for a while, should I buy one of these guns? Will it help or should I wait for what the doctor says after the mri scan results?
How long should we use the gun for?
Dr. Is there some exercise for mallet fingers.
Is this good for patellofemoral pain syndrome?
Will this get rid of inner knee clicking it's mainly when i extend my knee while sitting there a slight inner knee clicking. While squatting my left knee feels weak and unstable like it want to give out. No pain just clicking i accidentally rubbed my palm down my inner knee a few years back
Thanks
is this good for swelling?
can you do a video on how to do tests to see what's wrong with your shoulder
I have several. You can find them at: czcams.com/users/askdoctorjo
Hi Doctor Jo, my pain is in the side of the knee that is opposite of what you are showing. So in my left knee the pain is in the right side going to the middle. I can’t even bend that it hurts a lot. Do you think I should consider the percussion massage? Thank you
Unfortunately, I don't know since I can't evaluate you. It really just depends on what your specific diagnosis is.
MRI time.
Sounds more like a meniscus injury...
Is this good for arthritis? My knee pain is from arthritis.
Its not good actually . I recommend you research or ask the doctor
Doc Jo, when my knee hurts , i need to do a crack sound , like i stretched it a couple of times then after the crack sound..., then the pain goes away... why is it like that?
I have the same experience. The crack provides instant relief
My mom started having knee pain from running I massaged around her knee with my massage gun and it helped her out a bit
Hello, How old your mom? My mother 64 years old. Is that my mother suitable to use this massage gun?
@@fasaleha20 my mom is 46. I'm not a professional but I'd ask someone who is just because I have no clue if your mom has any health conditions or she might find it to be too powerful for her to bare. So my advice is talk to a specialist and go off of what they recommend.
@@Edgar.55 thank you for your help and advice . Ya I guess I will ask our doctor here then. 👍🏻. Thanks again
@@fasaleha20 no problem hope they give you a good answer
Nice
Thanks.
Cute socks as usual . I’m wondering if this can help with my pain in the wrist area from overuse
Thanks. It might help.
Hi. I have undergone a ACL reconstruction several years back. Can I use this massager on my knee.
I was doing pretty well along with my rehab I was starting to do cutting and jumping. I received one as a gift and used the joint head for swelling around my kneecap. I think it may be better off to not use for a joint. It left some bruising and I’ve had to dial back on the pressure I put on my knee. so I’d stay away from the knee joint itself but it does great for the quad,hamstring, and calf’s.
Do you recommend keeping your muscles "limp" when using the massage gun, or can they be in a stretched position?
I'm thinking about my quads specifically, whether I could use this seated at my desk (where my quads would be somewhat "taut" and not fully loose), or if I need to lay down to let my legs go completely slack.
Thanks for the informative video!
You're welcome! Either should be fine.
👍👍👍👍👍.
Mam..i feel pain in front right thigh while climbing stairs..it is for almost staying for an year...i took mri, ultrasound blood test..it shows normal..what can i do
Did they do an Arthrogram for the MRI? its a dye they shoot into your knee to see the ligaments better. I only say that because I had the same thing on my shoulder. The MRI said everything was good with no tears. Overtime it kept hurting and I went to another doctor and he recommended an Arthrogram. Once I got that they found a labral tear in my shoulder and I just had surgery for it. Feel a lot better now. Some doctors try to avoid that topic. Let your doc know and speak up!
@@jvcarter21 thanks a lot JC..let me check this with my doctor..as of now they didn't did arthrogram
Nice couch ☺️ we want 🐻
😎
How much is it
The link is in the description below the video.
Is this type of massager safe for someone that is pregnant?
Please show us how to use the gun on shoulders and arms too!
I have one for neck and shoulders too. You can find all my videos at: czcams.com/users/askdoctorjo
How do I turn it on
I press button and nothing happens
You have to hold the button for a second or two. If that doesn't work, maybe try charging it again.

Which attachment do you use for muscle knots and shoulder blade pain?
Use the bullet shape attachment to work away the knots
