DeproGun
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are Massage guns for?
Massage guns are to be used by anyone who suffers from sore, tired or aching muscles.
Where is DeproGun based?
We are an Irish sports-recovery solutions company that ships worldwide, from our offices located in Arklow, Co. Wicklow.
I have seen similar looking guns being sold on the market. What makes yours different?
While some products may bear superficial similarities to our range of Massage Guns, they are not the same product to the best of our knowledge. We work directly with trusted suppliers and have obtained exclusive distribution rights for our products with its distinctive suite of specifications and features.
If you see products that may look similar to DEPROGUN, you should not expect to receive the same specifications and features. Take care to check if the specifications, such as for the motor and battery, meet your expectations and that your device is covered by a local warranty, before you make any purchase.
Always exercise caution when buying online. If the price seems to good to be true, chances are that company will not be around very long to look after you.
How do I use a Massage Gun?
Each full body massage session should not take more than 10-15 minutes. DEPROGUN is designed to shut off after approx 10 minutes. To continue, simply wait for 1 minute before turning it back on again.
Depending on your desired outcome, we recommend using DEPROGUN for 15 to 120 seconds per muscle group. You can also treat yourself to a massage session 3 times a day.
Warm Up
When: Before your workout
Duration: 30 seconds per muscle group
Float your Deprogun over the target muscle group to “wake” them up. Couple with stretches to maximize range of motion and flexibility.
Rest Between Sets
When: During exercise
Duration: 15 seconds per muscle group
Use Deprogun on muscle groups that you’re training while you’re resting in between sets to maximize efficiency. This will help relieve muscle fatigue.
DOMS Prevention (Delayed onset muscle soreness)
When: After your workout
Duration: 2 minutes per muscle group
Float your Deprogun Massage gun over the muscles you trained (or any sore muscles that require immediate relief) to decrease post-workout DOMS.
What happens to your body after you use a massage gun?
After an intense workout, especially those where you test your physical limits, your body takes on eccentric exercise induced muscle damage. A symptom of this muscle damage is the soreness that you feel 24 to 72 hours after the workout, otherwise known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).
When you use a Deprogun massage gun after your workout, any time before or during DOMS, its high-torque motor delivers a powerful, pummelling action of up to 3200 RPM which increases blood flow in muscles and shortens DOMS. This increase in blood flow carries more oxygen and nutrients that are essential in repairing muscle fibers, thereby relieving the muscle pains and speeding up muscle recovery.

Safety tips for using your DeproGun massage gun
- Use the massage gun only as instructed. Never make any attempts to open or repair it as it will void your warranty and only use the attachments which are included in the box.
- Not to be used by children, or any person who has reduced sensory issues. The massager is not a toy and should not be given to children to play with.
- Only use the supplied charger as a different charger could cause personal injury or damage.
- Do not use the device while charging. Please do not use continuously for extended periods of time. Let the device rest for every 10 minutes of continuous use.
- Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the head of the massage gun that are not designed to go in. Only use provided massage gun attachment heads.
- Never use the massage gun near any explosive atmospheres (gas fumes, dust or flammable materials). There is the danger of sparks possibly generating a fire.
- When charging your massage gun, it should be done indoors in a well ventilated and dry location. Do not charge it outdoors, or near water. Do not use the device or charger on wet surfaces. The charger should never be exposed to any moisture, rain or snow.
- Ensure your charger is properly cared for. Do not leave it plugged in all the time. Keep the charger plugged out when not in use for extended periods. When you do charge it, keep the cord away from potentially tripping someone or being stepped on. If your charger or cord gets damaged in any way contact Hydragun to get it replaced immediately.
- Do not block any of the vents on your massage device and do not use it if any of the vents are blocked. Keep the massage gun free of dust, hair, lint or any other objects which may reduce the air flow. Always keep your hair, loose clothes and fingers clear of vents and moving parts.
- Never burn, incinerate or expose the massage gun or the battery to flames. This will cause personal injury and will cause the release of toxic fumes from burning of battery.
- Do not crush, drop or damage the charger. If your charger has received a sharp blow, been dropped or has been run over by anything, refrain from use and replace immediately.
- Your massage gun should never be used under any bed covers or pillows. This will cause overheating and may cause a fire.
Can I use this on muscle or bone?
Massage guns are designed to be used on skeletal muscle to reduce and relieve soreness from exertion or activity. Muscles like neck, shoulders, lats, chest, triceps, biceps, thighs, calves, etc that help you to move. If you experience intense pain or discomfort, stop use immediately and consult your physician.
How do I clean my massage gun?
Use a slightly damp towel to clean the exterior and handle of your Deprogun. Antibacterial wipes may also be used as an alternative. Afterwards, use a dry towel to wipe off moisture.
To clean the attachment heads, a quick wipe down with a damp towel or antibacterial wipes is sufficient. For the foam head, simply spray with a little alcohol or sanitizer, then air dry.
DO NOT use harsh cleaning products (bleach or other chemicals) on your DeproGun massage gun.
DO NOT wipe the inside of the device or the part where the attachments go with a damp towel/cloth.
How do I maintain my massage gun?
Over time, like all other motors or items that go through numerous repetitions, normal wear and tear may cause the device to get noisier.
You can remedy this by applying small amounts of electric motor oil on the metal ring where the attachment heads go.
Squeeze a small amount of electric motor oil around the inner and outer part of the metal ring, allowing it to seep for at least a few minutes before using the device.
Only use electric motor oil to lubricate the device.
DO NOT use automotive oil as this type of oil is too runny and thin for electric motors, and contain detergents that will damage the motor on your device.
What should I NOT DO whilst using my massage gun?
Do not disassemble and try to “repair” your DeproGun Massage Gun. Please contact customer support if you find any issues with your device.**
Do not use while it is charging.
Do not insert your finger or any foreign object in the part of the gun where the attachment heads go.
Do not use your massage gun while you are swimming or anywhere near bodies of water. While the device itself is corrosion resistant, accidentally submerging it in water will damage it completely.
Do not overcharge your massage gun as this can adversely affect its battery lifem so please do not leave it plugged in for extensive periods of time
