Product Information

As with stretching, though, you’re advised not to overdo it. Don’t be tempted to use your massage gun for more than 10 minutes in one go, especially on the higher speed settings. Experts suggest focusing your massage gun on each muscle group for only up to 30 seconds before and during exercise. Then once your workout is done, you can go at it a bit more, spending up to two minutes on each muscle group. You also get five interchangeable foam attachments (dampener, standard ball, wedge, thumb and cone) and five speeds (1,750-2,400ppm), giving you many different combinations of surface and intensity for different muscle groups and parts of your body. You’re guided through these combinations and helped to achieve your perfect massage programme by the app. While this mini massage gun is more expensive than a trunk full of whey protein, it’s compatible with a cool app that allows you to customize your massages. Plus, it comes with a full complement of accessories (including three attachments and a charging cable) and is small enough to go anywhere you go. Best Mini Massage Gun For Athletes These are the intended areas of application for each massage gun head we came across (under various names) in our tests: The compatible app makes it easy to dial in the perfect massage by providing personalized wellness plans.

Often massage guns will come with a variety of attachments and a selection of speeds that can be used for different types of muscle pain. Massage guns use ‘percussive’ therapy to massage the muscles. This means rapid and repetitive pressure is applied to the muscle you are working on. The idea is that this can replicate some of the benefits of regular massage , without the candles and whale song. (Although we won’t stop you from doing that at home if you want to.) One of the main advantages of this model is that it was designed for professional use and is the most advanced model on the market. It will take you less than a minute to work one muscle group, making it more flexible and more robust. This unit is an absolute beast as it exerts about 60 pounds of force. The massager offers 2-speed options — a standard one and a lighter one, with the former producing up to 40 percussions per second. The Renpho R3 is the other massage gun we’ve reviewed in-depth. It can’t equal the Theragun Elite for brute power (hence its four-star score), but as the second-cheapest massage gun on our list it offers amazing value for money. As its name implies, this massage gun from HoMedics wouldn't be out of place in the hands of a physiotherapist.

The first thing I noticed when I switched on the Theragun Pro was the insane force and speed at which the attachment head was moving. I was honestly stunned. It was moving at a speed that I had never seen before on a massage gun. The second thing I noticed was the noise. Therabody prides itself on its QuietForce Technology. Designed to be up to 55 per cent quieter than previous versions so I was expecting almost no noise. This wasn’t quite the case. Perhaps, I had set my expectations too high but I felt it definitely was still fairly loud and not something I’d bring out if others were around. Simply put, stall force is how hard you can push a massage gun into your body before the gun’s head stops moving. If you’re the type that really likes to dig into your muscles, you’ll want a higher stall force. Most mini massage guns tend to fall within the 20- to 30-pound range, with some outliers going above.
