The power button has a panel that reads the four speeds (ranging from 1,200 to 3,200 percussions per minute) and the battery level.

This may not be the best option for everyone since you can get a similar experience with a less expensive device. The massage gun comes with just one attachment (a hard ball), and it has the lowest continuous battery life (40 minutes) among our test group.Featuring a 90° articulating arm with 3 positions for better reach, 6 interchangeable attachment heads including an innovative heating head to help deep muscle relaxation and an exclusive 6" textured grip handle extension for hard-to-reach areas.

I'm tired of shiny, ugly plastic, so I appreciate that Lyric prioritized function and design with its massage gun.

Stall force: This indicates the amount of pressure (in pounds) that you can apply to the device during use before the motor stops. All of our picks come with a basic owner manual that at least recommends which attachments to use on which areas of the body. Foam rolling is great for releasing tension and soothing sore muscles, and Therabody has three devices that combine rolling and vibrations.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Theragun Pro models are always the most expensive, and the kind of devices used by college athletic departments and professional sports teams. The Vybe Premium Muscle Massage Gun is nearly identical to the Ekrin Athletics B37, one of our picks, save for a few key features: It has a lower stall force (30 pounds versus 56 pounds), a shorter amplitude (10 mm versus 12 mm), and a less-generous warranty (90 days versus lifetime). Massage guns are safe to use every day, as long as you use proper technique, but you don't want to overdo it since it can reduce the benefits of the therapy. The Elite lets you access preset guided routines from the Therabody app (available for iPhone and Android) in case you need help getting started with your massage gun.

Those upgrades might be valuable to some people, but we found the overall experience of the Elite and the Prime to be similar, and we concluded that most people would be satisfied with the Prime. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. The Aduro Percussion Massage Gun is the cheapest of the massage guns we tried, and in our tests it showed. Why we like it: With a slightly angled handle and a decent dose of power, the Ekrin Athletics B37 delivers on comfort and force. Because of its size, some might gravitate towards using it for travel, but the two-hour battery life would necessitate also packing a charger.

The Sharper Image Power Percussion Deep Tissue Massager is a relatively inexpensive model with six speeds, six attachments, and an easy-to-read digital display on the back of the device that indicates speed level and battery life. It has a comfortable oval handle with a nice grippy surface and the second-narrowest diameter among our picks. The Hyperice Hypervolt 2 costs about the same as Therabody’s Theragun Prime (the original Hypervolt introduced in 2018 is discontinued). Bondir R2 Pro Relieve and Recover Percussive Massage Gun in Black is the all-inclusive percussion massager that offers powerful, yet quiet relief. These attachments can be used to massage the back, shoulders, legs, arms, and other areas of the body.

The power screen can sometimes be hard to see; as opposed to other devices that show power level or battery life digitally, the blue bars on the left and right side are thin and not that visible in settings with limited light. The Hypervolt 2 is Bluetooth enabled and connects to the straightforward Hyperice app, which, like the Theragun app, allows you to follow along with guided programs tailored to a specific sport, activity, or body part. Why we like it: The Opove M3 Pro Massage Gun is an updated version of the Opove M3 Pro Max, a previous pick that we liked, but, like the newer M3 Pro, found to be big and bulky.

We can't independently verify if this was actually happening inside our bodies, but studies have shown positive benefits. The multi-speed, quiet technology has up to 12 hours battery life working effectively to relax muscles and relieve pain all over the body.
