BONDIR R2 PRO Massage Gun - Articulating Deep Tissue Back Massager with Extension Handle and 7X Heads Including Heated Attachment

Product Information

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. But the experience was pleasant, and this massage gun does the job for significantly less than a tool like the Therabody Theragun Prime. Evidence shows that manual massage (using the hands only) helps decrease pain and improve function, at least in the short term. We like the ability to cycle up and down through all five speeds, a feature that none of our other picks have. 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.

It has five speeds (from 1,750 ppm to 2,400 ppm) and a 16 mm amplitude—the highest of all our picks. 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. Choosing the Best Massage GunWhen choosing a massage gun, it's important to consider factors such as the weight, noise level, battery life, and overall ease of use. Derrickson advises, "Start on the lowest setting and find your tolerance and what you need in the moment. Massage guns, also known as percussive therapy devices, help relax and soothe sore muscles, whether you’re an athlete or just hunching over a desk all day.On my spare time I enjoy cooking new recipes, going for a scenic run, hitting the weight room, or binge-watching many TV shows at once. The Theragun Relief, the least-expensive massager in the company’s line, is lighter and smaller than other Theragun models. Plonksi has seen anecdotal evidence supporting the use of a Theragun-like device, and no apparent negative effects, but she recommends people always talk to a physician before trying a device. This time around you get three attachments with your Mini instead of just the one that the original had.

For another, the amplitude -- the ability to get deep into your muscles -- is on the higher side for a massage gun. Some are very specific and made for one use, and others come with various interchangeable attachments, each designed to target different muscle groups and provide varying intensity levels. Both beginners and well-established athletes will get good use from the Elite to break down knots and eliminate sore muscles. This may not be the best option for everyone since you can get a similar experience with a less expensive device. 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).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.

The Sonic is a little heavy and doesn't have a digital display, but it offers LEDs to show the five intensity levels as well as a battery indicator. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking, new connections, and new industries.

The M3 Pro has five speeds and six attachments, so it’s good for light recovery or for pressurized, targeted muscle relief. 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. If you want a massage gun that isn't expensive but has the features of a high-end one (minus the app function), the Renpho R4 Pro Massage Gun is a solid pick. A thumb-oriented power button controls the speed adjustment, and three LED lights indicate the speed.This massage gun has a curved neck that can adjust into five positions, but it was hard to move—we had to either use two hands or brace the device against the body and adjust from there. Massage guns are known for their percussive therapy, a form of soft tissue massage that uses vibrations to relieve muscle tension. Otherwise, if you're new to percussive therapy this is a good option that gives you the full experience without breaking the bank. Featuring an advanced muscle recovery massage gun, an innovative face mask to protect you and your loved ones, and a UV light to help your personal items stay clean, Bondir is dedicated to helping you live a healthier lifestyle.
