They’re easy-to-use, portable handheld devices that use percussive therapy to deliver rapid bursts of pressure to targeted areas of the body, helping to increase blood flow and loosen tight muscles. In professional settings, massage guns can enhance what a massage therapist, physical therapist, or athletic trainer can offer—with less wear and tear on the practitioner’s hands, wrists, and elbows. Not only do the best massage guns help aid muscle recovery after exercise, but they can also help anyone looking to relieve muscle pain and increase mobility.Similarly, the battery level is shown on the right of the screen by a blue vertical line, which decreases as the battery is used up.

The 20 pounds of stall force is the lowest of any of our picks, so people looking for more power and a deeper massage might look for a different massager.

The RENPHO Massage Gun comes with five interchangeable heads that move easily over muscles and provide a thorough massage. Not your typical massage gun, the Vyper 3 is more of a vibrating foam roller, designed to “accelerate your warm-up, speed recovery time and keep you moving better”. There are five speed settings and seven different heads that provide relief in different areas, whether you’ve had a tough gym session or you’re suffering from WFH ailments. For instance, smaller, narrower attachments work well on areas like feet, hands, and calves; rounder, wider shapes work well on larger muscle groups such as quads, glutes, and hamstrings. There are four routines to choose from on the device, but they recommend connecting to the user-friendly Therabody app for myriad personalised options that target specific aches and pains.
