Frequently Asked Questions

A massage gun mount is a fixture that holds your percussion massage gun securely against a wall, pole, or other surface so you can deliver a hands-free deep-tissue massage to areas you can’t easily reach on your own — most commonly your back. With your gun mounted, you lean into it to control pressure and placement, instead of straining your arms and shoulders trying to wrap them behind your back.

People buy massage guns to relieve back tension and then discover the area they most want to massage is the one they can’t reach. Extender bars exist, but they add weight, require both hands, and make it hard to apply steady, accurate pressure. A mount solves the reach problem cleanly. Read more →

Solo Mount ships with three attachment options so it works in just about any environment:

• Four suction cups for non-porous smooth surfaces — stainless-steel refrigerators, ceramic tile walls, glass shower stalls, and similar surfaces.
• Two flexible straps that wrap around most poles — square, round, or rectangular. Great for gyms, squat racks, and outdoor posts.
• An optional wall-mountable frame (sold separately) that bolts to drywall, wood, brick, and other rough surfaces for a permanent installation.

One Solo Mount, multiple environments — home, gym, on the go.

Solo Mount was designed to accommodate most percussion massage guns on the market — Theragun, Hypervolt, Achedaway, Bob and Brad, Renpho, and many others fit the cradle. If you have an unusual body shape or oversized handle, drop us a note with the model and we’ll confirm fit before you order.

The standard Cradle package includes the molded cradle, four heavy-duty suction cups, and two flexible straps for poles. The Cradle + Wall Mount bundle adds the bolt-on wall frame for permanent installation. And you can purchase an extra wall mount on its own if you want Solo Mount in more than one room.

Pricing: $59 (Cradle), $79 (Cradle + Wall Mount), $20 (Extra wall mount).

We’re in the final stretch of production. Solo Mount is currently available for pre-order — drop your email on the product page or in the form at the bottom of any page, and we’ll notify you the moment inventory ships.

Yes. Solo Mount is built with a sturdy frame and sound-dampening cushioning that absorbs the vibrations from your massage gun. It holds the gun firmly against a wall or post, even at the highest percussion settings, so your massage stays quiet and stable.

Not well — at least not without help. Reaching the middle of your own back with a percussion gun requires shoulder-dislocating contortions, and even then you can’t apply steady pressure. Extender bars help a little but still need both hands and tire your arms out fast.

The cleanest fix is to take your hands out of the equation: mount the gun to a wall or pole, then lean into it to control pressure and placement. That’s exactly what Solo Mount is built for. More on hands-free self-massage →

It depends on what you’re using it for. For general maintenance and relaxation, most people do well with 5–10 minute sessions, 3–4 times a week. For acute muscle soreness or post-workout recovery, you can use it more frequently — short 1–2 minute passes per muscle group, up to twice a day during peak soreness.

Listen to your body. If a spot feels worse after a session, back off the pressure or frequency, and consult a healthcare professional if discomfort persists. More benefits and best practices →

No — never run a percussion gun directly over your spine, the bones of your neck, or your ribs. Massage guns are designed for soft tissue (muscles), and applying percussive force to bone can cause bruising or injury.

Instead, work the muscles on either side of the spine — the erectors that run up and down your back, the upper traps over the shoulders, and the lats along the sides. A mount like Solo Mount actually makes this safer, because you can position the gun precisely on the muscle and lean into it without accidentally drifting onto bone the way you might when twisting to reach around.

Three main mechanisms:

1. Increased blood flow to the targeted muscles, which delivers oxygen and nutrients needed for tissue repair and helps clear out metabolic waste like lactic acid.
2. Reduced inflammation — research has found that massage can lower the production of cytokines (proteins that drive inflammation) while stimulating mitochondria in muscle cells.
3. Loosened adhesions and tight fascia, which restores range of motion and reduces the soreness from delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after intense workouts.

The trick is consistency — and the easier the tool is to use, the more consistently you’ll use it. Read about active recovery →

Active recovery is low-intensity movement after a strenuous workout or on a rest day — light walking, easy cycling, swimming, stretching, or a self-massage session. Passive rest (sitting on the couch) is fine too, but active recovery accelerates the body’s repair process by keeping blood flowing to fatigued muscles, helping clear waste products, and maintaining range of motion.

A short percussion-massage session is one of the easiest ways to add active recovery into your week — especially when a mount makes it a 5-minute habit instead of a 20-minute struggle. Full active-recovery guide →

Microtrauma is the microscopic damage that happens to muscle fibers during normal exercise. In small doses it’s actually desirable — your body repairs the damage and the muscle comes back stronger. That’s how training works.

Problems arise when microtrauma piles up faster than you can recover from it (overtraining, poor form, lack of rest). The symptoms are persistent soreness, stiffness, and dropping performance. The fix is the same three-part recipe athletes have used forever: rest, gentle movement, and consistent muscle work via massage or similar therapy. More on microtrauma →
