Product Information

Testers try out the various settings on each massage gun and rate them for how comfortable and effective they feel to use, and if they provide the desired level of power.

The Ekrin Athletics B37S Percussion Massager has an eight-hour battery life, the longest out of all the massage guns on this list. Powerful massage action suitable for pre-workout and post-workout, with 3 intensity levels, designed to release tight aching muscles.They also said it was sufficiently powerful, providing instant relief from soreness, even at lower speeds.

Our Good Housekeeping Institute fitness expert put a range of top massage guns from leading brands to the test on their sore muscles and found the best to suit all needs and budgets.Mechanical stimulation of a muscle [with a device like the Theragun] causes increased blood flow and the release of histamines to the stimulated area. They increase muscle stimulation, reduce soft tissue pain and improve blood circulation, speed up recovery and improve your physical performance. The business end has almost a centimetre of travel and, with five speeds ranging from thump to judder to thrum, works convincingly on big muscles (using the large ball or flat-head attachment), trigger points (using the bullet) and sensitive areas (using the cushioned head). Spinal Head/ Level 5: For targeting muscles around the spine, or for a dual trigger point massage (not to be used on bones or spine).

Being able to change the angling of the massage gun is key because you can target hard-to-reach areas.The R4 Pro also comes with six attachments: L ball head, M ball head, fork, bullet, flat and air-cushioned head. I am a former personal trainer and still enjoy learning and brushing up on my training knowledge from time to time. What’s more, it’s surprisingly quiet for such a bulky machine – in fact, it was one of quietest massage guns on test.

It gently works out all the pains and kinks in your muscles—don't expect a ton of power behind each pulse—and it's light and comfortable to hold.

But if you have a pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, it may interfere with the circuitry. Packed with innovation, you can heat it up to 47C in under two minutes for a warm massage, or freeze the interchangeable cool gel head for four hours for the ultimate cool down. Changing to a desired speed or mode has never been so easy, simply press the power or mode button for 2 seconds to easily access the desired speed that suits you.
