Common problems with massage guns may include battery issues, such as the device not turning on or not holding a charge. Other issues may involve improper charging, random shut-offs, excessive noise, or overheating during use. Broken or damaged attachments can also pose a problem.

Massage guns can help to improve short-term range of motion, flexibility and recovery-related outcomes, but their use in strength, balance, acceleration, agility and explosive activities is not recommended.

Improper or excessive use of massage guns could cause muscle pain and injury. Continuous pressure or vibration in a specific area can cause muscle tension, tissue injury, and unbearable pain.

Dead batteries: One of the primary reasons for a massage gun to stop working is due to depleted or dead batteries. Over time, rechargeable batteries tend to lose their capacity to hold a charge. This can lead to the massage gun not being able to operate for an extended period.

If your massage gun just stopped working, then make sure that you've plugged it into a power outlet. If it's plugged in, then your motor might be broken. You should replace the motor as soon as possible. If your motor is making abnormal noises or vibrates abnormally, then it might be broken.
