 What's up guys? So if you're quite active or you're an athlete or you work out quite a lot or even if you're just working from home and you sit down all day, you're quite naturally going to get some back aches or some strains and pains throughout your body. And for me personally, for someone that does get a lot of back pain, I tend to use a few different solutions to try and fix those. I have a massage gun. I use some deep heat cream. Sometimes I'll create a hot water bottle because heat really works well. It takes quite a lot of effort to just set up all of these things and give yourself some of that therapy to try and ease all of those muscle aches. And I wanted to find a solution that could sort of incorporate everything that I usually do in just one. And I have found that. This is the Flago X9. It's a heated massage gun developed by Nordic Lifting. So a big shout out for them for sending me this awesome gadget. Now I'm going to unbox this and test it out. But the main thing I wanted to showcase to you guys because I've reviewed a lot of massage guns in the past, but I've never seen one that has a plate that heats up whilst massaging you. And that type of heated vibration therapy is going to be great for any type of muscle pain. So I'm so excited to try that out. Let's start off unbox this and see what this thing can do. Just before I open this up, here's a few specifications around it. It gives you a heated massage, which actually operates between 45 to 48 degrees Celsius. It's 2600mAh battery, which will last a very long time. It's got five speed levels and the noise level is less than 50 decibels, which is quite important, especially if you take this outside your home. Let's take a look at the back. Now here you have six different interchangeable heads. Now some of these are very common. You get them with all of the massage guns. You have the air plug. It's nice for more softer parts of your body. Then you have the round one, the bullet one, spinal and the flat one. This is the main one that I'm interested in. Heated flat. So this is suitable for the whole body. So no matter what area of your body needs a bit more attention, much like how you use a hot water bottle, you can use it for your back, your shoulders, your neck, your legs, wherever it may be. It helps the blood circulation and it relieves pain. So I'm going to set this up with the heated one. These are the ones I've reviewed many times and of course you guys are aware of that already. Let's go ahead, open this up and see how it looks. So it comes with this very nice carry case. I like the Nordic Lifting logo just there on the bottom right. Cool. So you have yourself a warranty card, the user manual. Now there's the massage gun there, but just before I go on to that, you have yourself the plug, which comes in a couple of different country adapters as well. So you've got the EU and the US adapter there. These are all the different heads. Now the heated plate one is this one. You'll see there's the metal connectors that need to be attached in a specific position inside the massage gun. If you turn on the heating mode and you use a different head, it won't work. It needs to be connected using this. Otherwise it won't heat up anyway. So that's a bit of a security measure, which is quite important. So this is the flat head. It's made of ceramic. So this will start heating up and then you can use this wherever you'd like. So let's go ahead and take a look at this. You'll see that there's the unlock and lock button for the battery pack. So if I hold that down, I'll be able to remove the handle, which you can use separately to charge. So you have the on-off switch there at the bottom and that's where the AC adapter goes to charge it. So let's go ahead and connect this back up. Simply push it into place. Can you guys see inside there? That's where you have the connections for the heated head. So these two pins will need to connect exactly in line with the two pins you see right inside there. So make sure you do that properly. Otherwise if you connect this the wrong way and turn on the heat mode, it won't work. So let me go ahead and do that. So now that that's done, let's go ahead and turn this on. Turn it on from the bottom. You'll see it lights up. So there's the speed level one. Now there's different types of vibrations as well, which is quite unique. So the first one is static vibration. The second one goes into the mode where it's pulsates. And the third one is increasing step by step in vibration intensity. So let's go ahead, turn it on and you can probably hear it's not so loud. So the mode button there in the middle, that will change the mode. So this is like a pulsating vibration. Last one, it starts off slow and it will slowly climb faster and more intense. If I go back to the static mode, this last button here is where you change the speed level. So there you go, 3200 rpm as the maximum speed. Now this first button is the heated one. If I select this, you'll see the heat icon has now lit up red. So now I need to wait a couple of minutes whilst this heats up and then I can use that to massage myself using both heat and vibration therapy. Okay, it's been a few minutes. It's now quite warm and that actually feels so nice. I've never had a massage gone like this. So that's pretty unique for me. And let me see what it feels like on my back through my shirt. That feels so comfortable. It's kind of like you're sitting on a massage chair that heats up. But one thing I really use the like is when I sat in a sauna and the back heat I used to get used to give me such good blood circulation and loosen the tension in my back muscles. This kind of feels like that. Of course, it requires a little bit of manual work from your side to keep massaging yourself rather than staying in the same place. But if you're going to use a massage gun or if you use a foam roller, this is the type of thing that would work just perfectly fine and maybe do even better job than all of those things combined. So this is a very good time saver as well, especially if you live a busy lifestyle. Or even if you have like a sedentary lifestyle and you don't move around much, then that's equally as bad to get a lot of muscle tension. So you need something like this. And I highly recommend it. So a very good shout out for Nordic Lifting for providing this and making such a great product. And to be honest, I probably won't need my other massage guns anymore because the heat therapy is something that really helps, especially with the tight shoulders I have. This just makes it so much quicker to recover. And once I do that, I can go back out and train again. So for me, it's a big thumbs up. And finally, although this does look quite big, it's actually not heavy at all compared to some of the ones I've had in the past. They are pretty heavy and you can get tired from using it for an extended period of time. This does have a bit of security measures. So if you do use it for more than 10, 15 minutes, it will automatically turn off just to prevent overuse of it. But on the whole, I'm super impressed with it. Now this comes in just under $200. And I think it's a great thing to have, especially if you're an avid trainer, athlete, or if you're just working from home for full time at the moment during this pandemic, then you may need to be a little bit more active and get the blood circulating a little bit more. And something like this can really help you. If there's anything else that you want to know, make sure you guys drop a comment down below. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
