Product Information

Choose a model that comes with multiple massage heads, from the standard ball head for bigger muscle groups to cone, wedge and thumb heads for working on smaller and more sensitive areas. If you’re planning to take your massage gun to the gym with you, consider its weight, portability and battery life. How we test massage guns What impressed us most was that, even when used on its highest settings, the Hydragun was extremely quiet during our tests, perhaps even quieter than our otherwise top-scoring Power Plate Mini+. We measured its noise output at 30dB, which is approximately the same as most electric toothbrushes. You can hear it buzzing, especially when in an enclosed space. But this noise level sounds like an office environment or people conversing – very tolerable and not disruptive at all. Hydragun also advises always keeping the massage gun moving rather than leaving it in one place, and not using it in one area for longer than a couple of minutes to avoid bruising. Powerful, easy to use and affordable, our expert tester was blown away by this sleek little massager.

If your aim is to get some satisfying relief from post-workout muscle strain and to help reduce soreness in your muscles in the days after a workout, the best massage guns are likely to work well for you and are well worth buying.When you're browsing the best massage guns, ideally your purchasing priorities should centre on noise control, battery life and quality. Whether your body often aches after exercise or you urgently need the kind of stress relief that only a deep-tissue massage can provide, it's well worth investing. Or perhaps you know someone who would love one this Christmas? Massage guns can also potentially help you recover from heavy sessions. “Once the body is relaxed, you will decrease cortisol levels (stress) and create an optimal healing environment for recovery, getting towards an anabolic state of recovery,” says Giordano. “To do that, spend 90 to 120 seconds moving up and down each muscle group.”

Then again, the USB-C cable and plug make actual charging a non-issue. However, you might be recharging it more often, especially if you enjoy long or frequent massage sessions. What’s important is that you have a few speeds to choose between, so you can opt for low-intensity massage for everyday muscle relief, medium to boost recovery, and high intensity to get rid of painful knots. Look for three or more optional speeds, which are easy to switch between while you use the device. This newcomer has a luxury style and quality build. And, it comes in a nice hardshell case that has storage space for the gun, seven attachments, and the charger (with international adapters). Hydragun bills itself as the quietest massager, though it’s just nominally quieter than the Hyperice Hypervolt 2. Runner’s World Runner-in-Chief Jeff Dengate used an iPhone decibel meter to test how loud each was at roughly the distance from your ear to thigh. The Achedaway Pro features five speeds, ranging from 1,700-2,800 percussions per minute. Its removable 3200 mAh Lithium battery provides enough power for 3- to 4 hours of treatment. It comes with a carrying case with four well-made attachments including semi-soft standard ball, firm flat head, bullet and fork.And since it is not like some mini massagers with limited functionality, the C2 Massage Gun gives you the same power as most standard models. Serious athletes should look for a high amplitude. Measured in millimetres, this metric shows you how deeply the gun can hit and how powerful it will feel on your body. The punchiest models listed below have an amplitude of 16mm.
