Eight heads is a lot of choice and not much instruction. The head you attach changes how the work lands on the muscle. This guide uses the heads TimTam lists for the TimTam PowerMassager PRO.

Which massage gun head should you use?

Match the head to the size of the area. Broad, cushioned heads suit large muscle groups such as quads and glutes. Smaller, firmer heads suit a specific spot. Start with the broadest head you have and move to a smaller one only when you want to work a single point.

If you are unsure, begin with the Recovery head and keep the intensity low.

What are the 8 heads on the PowerMassager PRO?

TimTam lists Warm Up, Recovery, Trigger Point, Lumbar, Iron Thumb, Air Cushion, Lumbar+, and Hot-Cold-LED. The product page describes only the Hot-Cold-LED head in detail. For the rest, the names tell you the intended use, and the included instructions should be your reference for shape and placement.

Treat the names as a starting point, not a rule.

Which head suits the lower back?

The Lumbar and Lumbar+ heads are named for that area. Work beside the spine rather than directly on the bone, and keep the pressure light. The lower back is a place to use the lowest intensity level first and stay there if it feels like enough.

Move slowly and keep the device moving. Holding one spot is rarely needed.

Which head suits a specific tight spot?

The Trigger Point and Iron Thumb heads are named for focused work. Use them for a small area after you have worked the larger muscle with a broader head. Keep sessions on a single point short, and ease off if the area feels sharp instead of firm.

Focused heads concentrate the load, so the same pressure feels stronger than it does with a broad head.

Where does the Hot-Cold-LED head fit?

TimTam lists heat up to approximately 122°F, cold at approximately 50 to 59°F, and red LED light in this head. Heat suits a warm-up or a stiff morning. Cold suits a cool-down after a hard session. Use the head for a short session and check your skin often.

Add one new input at a time. Power + Performance is a single-ingredient deer antler velvet product listing 1,000 mg per serving, and athletes subject to drug testing should check with their governing body before using it.

What fuels the work you do with the device?

Recovery sits in the same system as fuel. Patriot Brew Coffee provides 10g of grass-fed collagen peptides with 100% Arabica instant coffee, and Premium Protein provides 19g of grass-fed hydrolyzed beef collagen protein per serving. Collagen is not a complete protein, so keep whole-food protein in your meals.
