body patterned after a Swedish massage technique called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Xdl79YHlek" rel="noopener" target="_blank">tapotement</a>. You’ll notice three terms typically mentioned within massage gun specs:</p><ul><li><strong>Amplitude:</strong> This measures how far the shaft of the device moves in and out in order to make contact with your body. The greater the amplitude—measured in millimeters—the deeper the massage, theoretically.</li><li><strong>Percussions per minute (ppm):</strong> This is the rate at which the device drums into your body.</li><li><strong>Stall force:</strong> This indicates the amount of pressure (in pounds) that you can apply to the device during use before the motor stops.</li></ul><p>Most massage guns come with a variety of attachments that allow you to target specific muscles or deliver a particular kind of massage. 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. Nearly all massage guns are relatively noisy and, depending on your level of sensitivity, fairly intense.</p><p>They work by quickly and repeatedly punching the body, triggering blood vessels to dilate. This action assists in hydrating muscle tissue with blood and can help release knots, explained Ericka Clinton, dean of the massage therapy program at the Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences and a New York–licensed massage therapist.</p><aside class="f46340a9"><p data-scp="pullquote">A massage gun cannot flush lactic acid.

When it comes to the benefits of massage guns specifically, there isn’t a lot of hard data. “The benefits that come from [these tools] are going to be small at best,” said Christie Aschwanden, science journalist and author of <a href="https://amazon.com/dp/0393357716" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><em>Good to Go: What the Athlete in All of Us Can Learn from the Strange Science of Recovery</em></a>.</p><p>What we do know is that a massage gun cannot flush lactic acid from your muscles (that’s <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27409551/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">not how muscle soreness works</a>). It can’t eradicate cellulite. It can increase circulation—but so can taking a walk, as Aschwanden pointed out. It can also help work out a tight spot in your shoulder at the end of a workday, contribute to an energizing pre-workout warm-up, or soothe your legs as part of a post-run recovery.</p><p>Using one can feel great—and that’s meaningful. “The very most basic level of recovery is just rest and rejuvenation, and anything that facilitates that is good,” said Aschwanden.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="who-this-is-for"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="who-this-is-for-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Who this is for" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="2">Who this is for</h2><div id="who-this-is-for-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="who-this-is-for" aria-hidden="false"><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_246608" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="The author tests one of the options for the best massage gun by applying it to their own shoulder over an athletic shirt." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-testshot2.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-246608"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text">  <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Ingrid Skjong</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>A massage gun might appeal to you if you feel the effects of hunching over a phone or computer regularly or any other work-related aches and pains; if you face chronic tight spots, sore muscles, or other soft-tissue complaints; or if you simply enjoy the sensation of a percussive massage.</p><p>Massage guns have grown especially popular among athletes (and weekend warriors) of all levels.

in case the B37 is accidentally left running unattended. (You can start it back up immediately.) Considering the kinetic nature of massage guns, that scenario seems unlikely. But to check the integrity of the motor, we ran the device unattended for 15 minutes straight at various speeds and noticed just a bit of warmth.</p><p>It promises eight hours of battery life, tied for the longest of our picks. We didn’t need to charge it once during our three-plus weeks of testing. Its lifetime <a href="https://ekrinathletics.com/pages/warranty" rel="noopener" target="_blank">warranty</a>—the strongest by far of our picks—covers defects in materials or workmanship, including the battery, attachments, and motor. The massage gun comes with a sturdy-enough carrying case.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><p>The power button, which also adjusts the speed, sits on top of the Ekrin B37; as a result, it isn’t quite as conveniently located. The massage gun is comfortable to hold, though it felt a tad top-heavy. It is quiet at its slowest speed, but we had trouble hearing a TV show while using it on its highest setting.</p><h3>Key specs</h3><ul><li><strong>Speeds:</strong> five</li><li><strong>Number of

Despite its five speeds (640 ppm to 3,200 ppm) and 12 mm amplitude, the Mebak 3 felt less powerful than comparably labeled models, but that wasn’t necessarily a drawback. It’s a solid choice for someone seeking a lower-key massage gun.</p><p>The Mebak 3 has a main on-off switch at the base of its handle. You adjust the speed via the touchscreen display, which requires a lighter touch than physical buttons. It responded nicely for us. You cannot cycle both up and down through the five speeds (in contrast to the Therabody Theragun Prime’s interface, which allows for that); instead, each touch of the screen’s fingerprint icon advances the speed up. A pressure sensor uses green, yellow, and red lights to indicate increasing amounts of pressure being applied during use, but they’re tough to see when you’re using the device on yourself. (The Mebak 3’s specs do not list a stall force.)</p><p>A number representing a percentage on the screen shows the battery level. As a safety precaution, the Mebak 3 shuts off automatically after 10 minutes of use; you can restart it immediately. When we ran the massage gun unattended for 15 minutes straight at various speeds, it did not overheat.</p><div class="f669362e"><div class="ce43b2db fb2675ba" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article class="d63cac99" data-gtm-element="gallery-main" data-testid="gallery"><div class="d1ee6a2a"><aside class="dfb4f088"><div aria-label="Go to Slide 1" tabindex="-1" class="fc4db63f fd22436a " style="-webkit-transform:translate3d(0%, 0, 0);-moz-transform:translate3d(0%, 0, 0);-ms-transform:translate3d(0%, 0, 0);-o-transform:translate3d(0%, 0, 0);transform:translate3d(0%, 0, 0)" role="button" data-testid="gallery-slide-1"><div data-scp="gallery_main"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5" style="padding-bottom:50.00%;display:inline"><img loading="lazy" alt="The Mebak 3, shown with one attachment in place and surrounded by six other options." itemProp="image" data-testid="gallery-image" src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8391.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="1024" height="512" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce"/></div><div aria-hidden="true" data-scp="image_caption" data-testid="image-caption">The Mebak 3 comes with seven attachments, the most out of our picks.

It’s quiet, too, as we were able to hear a TV show while we massaged, even at the tool’s highest speed.</p><p>The Mebak 3 promises two to three hours of battery life, and in our tests it lived up to that billing. It has a <a href="https://www.mebakshop.com/pages/warranty-policy" rel="noopener" target="_blank">one-year warranty</a>.</p><h3><strong>Flaws but not dealbreakers</strong></h3><p>During our first few uses, we noticed lubricant leaking out of the attachment point (we experienced this with only one other device, the cheapest model in our test pool). We wiped the substance away, it dissipated completely soon after, and it wasn’t a problem again. The massage gun also comes with a slightly flimsy carrying case. Some testers with reduced hand strength preferred the tactile feedback of pressable buttons on other massage guns over this model’s touch screen.</p><h3>Key specs</h3><ul><li><strong>Speeds:</strong>

but, like the newer M3 Pro, found to be big and bulky. The Opove M3 Pro is built with more amplitude and stall force, but at 2.5 pounds, it’s the heaviest of our massage gun picks. However, it performs well in fulfilling multiple needs.</p><p>The M3 Pro has five speeds and six attachments, so it’s good for light recovery or for pressurized, targeted muscle relief. Despite its size, one tester who has small hands was able to maintain a good grip and found that it handled smoothly, even at the highest of speeds. It also doesn’t vibrate down to the handle, although targeting hard-to-reach crevices on the body proved a bit difficult.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_337552" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="The six attachments that come with the Opove M3 Pro Massage Gun, displayed in front of a green background." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/09/massageguns-2048px-02790.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-337552"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The Opove M3 Pro has six attachments (clockwise from top right): key, flat cylinder, cushion, fork, ball, arrow. <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Marki Williams</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>The M3 Pro has an on-off switch at the base of its handle.

A few testers noted the handle of the M3 pro is more slippery than those on other devices we tested. Some customer reviewers criticized the battery life, and after a full charge we estimated that it would need a recharge after about six hours—still good, but short of the advertised limit of eight hours (higher power levels drain the battery faster). One tester noted the M3 Pro gave off the slightest smell of burning motor, which seems to be par for the course for massage guns of this size.</p><h3>Key specs</h3><ul><li><strong>Speeds:</strong>

href="https://www.therabody.com/us/en-us/warranty-support/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">one-year limited warranty</a>.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><p>The Theragun Mini has only three speeds (1,750, 2,100, and 2,400 ppm) and three attachments (our other picks have four or more). Because of its size, some might gravitate towards using it for travel, but the two-hour battery life would necessitate also packing a charger. Another quirk of its design is in the way you might grip the massager—be sure not to place fingers too close to the narrow end with the moving attachment, as they can get pinched. Some testers also noticed it was harder to reach areas of their back without a long handle to grip. One tester with limited dexterity in her hands suggested the Mini should come with a wrist strap for security. 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.</p><h3>Key

Then we worked our way through the testing group over the course of about three weeks—after workouts, before runs, in pursuit of knot relief—focusing on the following criteria:</p><p><strong>Overall massage experience:</strong> We noted the three main specs often associated with massage guns—<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-massage-guns/#what-is-a-massage-gun-and-how-does-it-work">amplitude, percussions per minute, and stall force</a>—and assessed how they combined to produce a satisfying massage. We preferred a variety of discernable speeds. We also ran each device for 15 minutes straight at various speeds to check for overheating.</p><p><strong>Controls:</strong> We looked for intuitively placed control buttons that we could access easily during a session (ideally with one hand). We noted if the buttons were too sensitive or overly difficult to press.</p><p><strong>Weight and feel:</strong> We weighed each massage gun ourselves. We noted how each one felt in our hands, including how the length, diameter, shape, and material of the handle contributed to ergonomic comfort.</p><p><strong>Attachments:</strong> We looked for a variety of attachments, which helps you access a diversity of muscles more easily and comfortably. We also noted the attachments’ material (plastic, closed-cell foam, lighter foam) and stability (a few attachments popped out mid-massage).</p><p><strong>Noise:</strong> We switched between listening to a podcast (without headphones) and watching a TV show while using the devices and noted if we had a hard time hearing.</p><p><strong>Battery:</strong> We paid attention to the overall battery life, noting if a massage gun seemed to lose its charge earlier than promised, which usually is about two to three hours of cumulative use. We also looked for a relatively obvious battery-level indicator on the device itself.</p><p><strong>Portability:</strong> You might want to tote a massage gun to the gym, from room to room in your home, or on a trip. A carrying case can help with that, as well as with storage when you aren’t using the tool.</p><p><strong>Warranty:</strong> We’ve stumbled across more than a few <a href="https://amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RQB6XO8WBUE8S/?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=246664" rel="noopener" target="_blank">“worked fine until it didn’t” sentiments</a> within customer reviews of massage guns: Batteries stop charging, motors peter out, attachments refuse to hold. Most of the models we tried have a one-year warranty (<a href="#angled-handle-good-value-ekrin-athletics-b37">though one of our picks</a> is covered for a lifetime).</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="how-should-you-use-a-massage-gun"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="how-should-you-use-a-massage-gun-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="How should you use a massage gun?" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="11">How should you use a massage gun?</h2><div id="how-should-you-use-a-massage-gun-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="how-should-you-use-a-massage-gun" aria-hidden="false"><p>Massage guns are fairly intuitive to use. Begin by choosing an attachment that will complement the muscle group you’re treating. All of our picks come with a basic owner manual that at least recommends which attachments to use on which areas of the body. (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnnxMxTa41Y" rel="noopener" target="_blank">This video</a> gives a beginner-geared overview.) Next, turn the massage gun on before it makes contact with your body and choose a speed; the general recommendation is to start at the lowest setting and work up. Float the attachment over the area you’re targeting and adjust the pressure as you go. To warm up for a workout or activity, concentrate on a specific area for about 30 seconds. For post-activity recovery, relaxation, or targeted attention on a tight spot, spend one to two minutes per area, holding the massage gun gently but steadily on knots or tender areas as tolerated.</p><p>Experts agree: Don’t overdo it. The process should not be painful. Avoid using a massage gun on bony areas, directly over joints or tendons, or on an open wound or acute injury. How often you use a massage gun—a few times a day, once a day, once in a blue moon—depends on your specific goals, needs, and tolerance. Overdoing it can result in bruising.</p><p>In general, don’t force it, said Christopher Hicks, MD, sports medicine specialist at Northwestern Medicine. For example, if you want to ease shoulder tightness but have limited range of motion in that area, contorting yourself for a massage gun might not be a good idea.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="what-about-the-hyperice-hypervolt-2"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="what-about-the-hyperice-hypervolt-2-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="What about the Hyperice Hypervolt 2?" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="12">What about the Hyperice Hypervolt 2?</h2><div id="what-about-the-hyperice-hypervolt-2-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="what-about-the-hyperice-hypervolt-2" aria-hidden="false"><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_246627" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="The compact, gray Hyperice Hypervolt 2, one of the models we tested to find the best massage gun." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8389.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-246627"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text">  <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Rozette Rago</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>Along with Therabody, Hyperice is one of the most recognizable names in massage guns. The <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/50001/179590/4/143845/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/50001/179590/4/143845/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_what-about-the-hyperice-hypervolt-2" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="50001" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/50001/179590/4/143845/?merchant=Amazon">Hyperice Hypervolt 2</a> costs about the same as Therabody’s <a href="#powerful-with-a-multi-grip-handle-therabody-theragun-prime">Theragun Prime</a> (the original Hypervolt introduced in 2018 is discontinued). It’s a good massage gun, but it falls short of the Theragun Prime in a few ways.</p><p>Compared with the Theragun Prime, the Hypervolt 2 has a lower amplitude (12 mm versus 16 mm) and fewer speeds (three versus five), though it does have a slightly higher maximum speed (2,700 ppm versus 2,400 ppm). It has a traditional shape—unlike the triangular shape of the Theragun Prime, which allows for a few different ways to hold the device—and is slimmer and more petite. It has a comfortable oval handle with a nice grippy surface and the second-narrowest diameter among our picks. People with smaller hands might appreciate the size. But overall, due to the shape and orientation of its handle, it doesn’t offer quite the flexibility that the Theragun Prime does. One tester said the handle was so wide that it hurt their hand while gripping it.</p><p>You can’t cycle up and down through the speeds as you can with the Theragun Prime, which isn’t a complete dealbreaker but at this price is a nice feature to have.</p><p>A light at the bottom of the Hypervolt 2’s handle broadcasts the battery life in green, yellow, or red, which is a nice touch (the Theragun Prime relies on LED lights). It comes with five attachments (one more than the Theragun Prime): four made of plastic (ball, bullet, flat, fork) and one made of a soft rubbery material (cushion). They are comfortable and versatile, but not as much as the closed-cell foam attachments of the Theragun Prime.</p><p>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. Also like the Theragun Prime, the Hypervolt 2 proved to be rather loud in our tests. A small pouch is included for storage.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-9" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-9-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-9"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-9"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="what-to-look-forward-to"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="what-to-look-forward-to-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="What to look forward to" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="13">What to look forward to</h2><div id="what-to-look-forward-to-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="what-to-look-forward-to" aria-hidden="false"><p>We’re testing Therabody’s <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66928/210554/4/203747/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66928/210554/4/203747/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_what-to-look-forward-to" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="66928" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/66928/210554/4/203747/?merchant=Amazon">Theragun Prime Plus</a>, an upgraded version of our top pick, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-massage-guns/#powerful-with-a-multi-grip-handle-therabody-theragun-prime">Theragun Prime</a>.

Compared with the Prime, it has five attachments instead of four, a higher stall force (40 pounds versus 30 pounds), and an OLED display (instead of LED lights). 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.</p><p>If you seek a massage gun experience built around relaxation just as much as pummeling away at your muscles, the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/58128/194905/4/170414/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/58128/194905/4/170414/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-competition" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="58128" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/58128/194905/4/170414/?merchant=Amazon">Theragun Sense</a> may be for you. The Sense has visually-guided routines and breathing exercises that are supposed to add a layer of calm to a massage (instructions appear on a small monitor on the back of the gun, with additional feedback available when connected to the Therabody app). A finger sensor located on the inside handle also provides a heart rate reading. Our testers enjoyed the guided routines, as they made recovery sessions feel more thorough with clear directions rather than haphazardly massaging away at various body parts. But for a massage gun so targeted at being a calming device, we found the sound a big detractor. When oiled, the Sense is fairly quiet and you can still hear a TV while using it. But we found it gets louder and rattles quickly; we had to oil it more frequently than the company suggests. We also found the battery life to be shorter than the listed two hours: we rarely reached an hour when using the device for guided sessions. The Sense has four attachments (dampener, standard ball, thumb, micro-point) and five speeds.</p><p>The <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/60536/199162/4/180965/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/60536/199162/4/180965/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-competition" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="60536" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/60536/199162/4/180965/?merchant=Amazon">Theragun Pro Plus</a> incorporates infrared LED light therapy, and special attachments for vibration therapy and heat therapy (the company claims heating can reach 131 degrees). These features are controlled on an LED screen on the handle of the device, and you can use five other attachments (dampener, standard ball, thumb, micro-point, and wedge). While the wave of heat felt nice during a massage (you can adjust the temperature or turn this feature off by cycling through the LED screen), we don’t think heat or infrared therapy justify the additional cost (nearly double), when compared to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-massage-guns/#powerful-with-a-multi-grip-handle-therabody-theragun-prime">Theragun Prime</a> we recommend.

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. “It gets you a lot in a very short span of time,” said Ericka Clinton of the Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences. Unfortunately, massage guns are not the most accessible devices for people with difficulty grasping objects. If you’d like to try a massage gun but are unsure if it’s a good option for you, talk to your doctor or a medical professional. Certain scenarios could preclude their use, including bleeding or skin disorders, as well as pregnancy (particularly high-risk pregnancies), a recent surgery, nervous-system disorders like epilepsy or multiple sclerosis, or cancer. In a 2021 case study, researchers in China advocated for additional research on the safety of massage guns. If you find massage in general to be uncomfortable, or if you bruise easily, a massage gun might not be for you; a foam roller is another option, though using one can also come with a degree of discomfort.","title":"Who this is for","slug":"who-this-is-for","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-caption","attribs":{"id":"attachment_246609","align":"alignnone","width":"2048"},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"img","attribs":{"class":"alignnone size-full wp-image-246609","src":"https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8369.jpg","alt":"The Therabody Theragun Prime, one of our picks for the best massage gun, with a black triangular multi-grip handle.","width":"2048","height":"1365","noInlineStyles":true,"postType":"review"},"children":[],"dbData":{"productionCDN":true,"source":"wp-content/media/2022/03/massageguns-2048px-8369.jpg"}},{"data":" ","type":"text"},{"data":" ","type":"comment"}],"dbData":{"credit":"Photo: Rozette Rago"}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-callout","attribs":{"type":"primary","id":"1"},"children":[],"dbData":{"ribbon":"Top pick","callouts":[{"name":"Therabody Theragun Prime","title":"Multi-grip handle, satisfying massage","images":{"full":"https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/49996/Therabody-Theragun-Prime_20220321-153037_full.jpg"},"description":"This massage gun offers powerful percussion in a compact package and uses a triangular, multi-grip handle.","notGreat":0,"ribbon":"Top pick","pickTypeId":1,"referenceId":203767,"sources":[{"id":179585,"price":{"raw":30999,"formatted":"$310"},"order":0,"merchantName":"Amazon","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086Z6V3S6/","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/49996/179585/4/203767","store":"Amazon"}],"inactiveSources":[{"id":179633,"store":"Best Buy","price":{"raw":29999,"rawFormatted":"$300","formatted":"$300"},"buttonDetails":"","order":1,"valueAdd":"","countryId":"usa","availability":1,"rawUrl":"https://www.bestbuy.com/site/therabody-theragun-prime-bluetooth-app-enabled-massage-gun-4-attachments-30lbs-force-latest-model-black/6400562.p?skuId=6400562","url":"https://wclink.co/link/49996/179633/4/203767"},{"id":182176,"store":"Walmart","price":{"raw":29900,"rawFormatted":"$300","formatted":"$300"},"buttonDetails":"","order":2,"valueAdd":"","countryId":"usa","availability":1,"rawUrl":"https://www.walmart.com/ip/Theragun-PRIME-Professional-Handheld-Percussive-Therapy-Device-Portable-Deep-Tissue-Massager-Black/861664499?wmlspartner=wlpa\u0026selectedSellerId=0","url":"https://wclink.co/link/49996/182176/4/203767"},{"id":179631,"store":"Therabody","price":{"raw":29900,"rawFormatted":"$300","formatted":"$300"},"buttonDetails":"","order":3,"valueAdd":"","countryId":"usa","availability":1,"rawUrl":"https://www.therabody.com/us/en-us/prime-blk-us.html","url":"https://wclink.co/link/49996/179631/4/203767"},{"id":179632,"store":"Target","price":{"raw":0,"rawFormatted":"$0","formatted":"$0"},"buttonDetails":"","order":4,"valueAdd":"","countryId":"usa","availability":0,"rawUrl":"https://www.target.com/p/theragun-prime-handheld-percussive-massage-device/-/A-79858325","url":"https://wclink.co/link/49996/179632/4/203767"}],"productId":49996,"calloutId":"p1","deals":[],"hasEventDeals":false,"combinedSources":[{"id":179585,"price":{"raw":30999,"formatted":"$310"},"order":0,"merchantName":"Amazon","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086Z6V3S6/","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/49996/179585/4/203767","store":"Amazon"}]}]}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"strong","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"Best for:","type":"text"}]},{"data":" Try this device if you’re willing to pay top dollar for a powerful, well-designed massage gun with an upscale feel.

Why we like it: We enjoyed using the quiet Mebak 3 Massage Gun, which has a touchscreen display. Despite its five speeds (640 ppm to 3,200 ppm) and 12 mm amplitude, the Mebak 3 felt less powerful than comparably labeled models, but that wasn’t necessarily a drawback. It’s a solid choice for someone seeking a lower-key massage gun. The Mebak 3 has a main on-off switch at the base of its handle. You adjust the speed via the touchscreen display, which requires a lighter touch than physical buttons. It responded nicely for us. You cannot cycle both up and down through the five speeds (in contrast to the Therabody Theragun Prime’s interface, which allows for that); instead, each touch of the screen’s fingerprint icon advances the speed up. A pressure sensor uses green, yellow, and red lights to indicate increasing amounts of pressure being applied during use, but they’re tough to see when you’re using the device on yourself. (The Mebak 3’s specs do not list a stall force.) A number representing a percentage on the screen shows the battery level. As a safety precaution, the Mebak 3 shuts off automatically after 10 minutes of use; you can restart it immediately. When we ran the massage gun unattended for 15 minutes straight at various speeds, it did not overheat. The Mebak 3 comes with some attachments we don’t always see: a shovel (a blade-like silhouette that can work the length of a muscle) and cushion (which provides a softer, more-muted massage). It’s quiet, too, as we were able to hear a TV show while we massaged, even at the tool’s highest speed. The Mebak 3 promises two to three hours of battery life, and in our tests it lived up to that billing. It has a one-year warranty. Flaws but not dealbreakers During our first few uses, we noticed lubricant leaking out of the attachment point (we experienced this with only one other device, the cheapest model in our test pool). We wiped the substance away, it dissipated completely soon after, and it wasn’t a problem again. The massage gun also comes with a slightly flimsy carrying case. Some testers with reduced hand strength preferred the tactile feedback of pressable buttons on other massage guns over this model’s touch screen.

Why we like it: Some massage guns with a long handle feel like you have to guide them along the muscles, but the Therabody Theragun Mini 2nd Generation needs no such push—it’s as easy as dragging a paint brush. Its triangular, lightweight shape is easy to hold, and at just over five inches tall, it’s better at reaching harder-to-reach surface areas on the body, such as the undersides of the legs. With a solid battery life, simple functionality, and not-too-loud sound—we could still hear a TV at normal volume while using it (unlike the bigger Therabody Theragun Prime)—this is a great entry option for someone looking to purchase a massage gun for the first time or for something to take on the go (it weighs 1 pound). Like the Theragun Prime, the Theragun Mini is Bluetooth enabled and connects to the Therabody app, with access to guided programs. Although the Theragun Mini only comes with three attachments, others are available for purchase. It has a one-year limited warranty. Flaws but not dealbreakers The Theragun Mini has only three speeds (1,750, 2,100, and 2,400 ppm) and three attachments (our other picks have four or more). Because of its size, some might gravitate towards using it for travel, but the two-hour battery life would necessitate also packing a charger.

We preferred a variety of discernable speeds. We also ran each device for 15 minutes straight at various speeds to check for overheating. Controls: We looked for intuitively placed control buttons that we could access easily during a session (ideally with one hand). We noted if the buttons were too sensitive or overly difficult to press. Weight and feel: We weighed each massage gun ourselves. We noted how each one felt in our hands, including how the length, diameter, shape, and material of the handle contributed to ergonomic comfort. Attachments: We looked for a variety of attachments, which helps you access a diversity of muscles more easily and comfortably. We also noted the attachments’ material (plastic, closed-cell foam, lighter foam) and stability (a few attachments popped out mid-massage). Noise: We switched between listening to a podcast (without headphones) and watching a TV show while using the devices and noted if we had a hard time hearing. Battery: We paid attention to the overall battery life, noting if a massage gun seemed to lose its charge earlier than promised, which usually is about two to three hours of cumulative use.

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. It no doubt has its fans, but one of our notes sums it up: “This thing is nuts.” 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). Still, it was comfortable to use.
