Massage Gun Attachments Explained

In short
What each head is designed for.
Most massage guns include a ball head for large muscles, a flat head for general use, a bullet or cone head for small trigger points and a fork head for areas beside the spine or Achilles tendon.
Softer foam heads are gentler; harder heads feel more intense. Begin with a soft ball or flat head.
Never use the fork head directly on the spine, and avoid hard heads over bony areas.
Check that replacement heads are available, because attachments can wear or go missing.
