Product Information

They also said it was sufficiently powerful, providing instant relief from soreness, even at lower speeds. The battery running time is nothing short of outstanding too, lasting for up to six hours when fully charged, which is perfect if – like us – you forget to charge it after use.

There’s no hiding from the fact that most top massage guns will set you back a pretty penny, so we approached this more affordable RENPHO offering with a little scepticism. There's just one button on the compact, rubberised unit itself, and it acts as an on/off switch at the same time as controlling the intensity of the vibration. After many years running races and marathons, she now trains and competes in CrossFit and Olympic lifting.It’s a lightweight breeze to use but the round ball head has a tendency to drag on skin, which can be uncomfortable. Give your muscles some instant relief after an intense interval session with this compact device, which is small enough to slip into your pocket or hook onto your kit bag (it comes with a neat little travel case and hook for easy transportation).

It comes with a choice of five massage heads, has the longest battery life of the models we tested and moves fluidly over skin without dragging. Even better, it’s the same size as an iPhone and comes with a sleek travel pouch, so it’s a great one to take on holiday or to the gym. Massage guns can also be incorporated into your running warm-up routine to help loosen up your muscles, as well as during exercise to help clear your limbs of lactic acid and toxins. It doesn’t have some of the frills the other guns have, so don’t expect an app, Bluetooth connectivity or even a case, and it doesn’t feel quite as powerful as the priciest guns. I got this massage gun as I've started to go to the gym recently and I wanted to find something to alleviate the pain of the second day and I must say I'm positively impressed.

Our expert loved the innovative features, especially the ability to heat up the massage head to 47C for a hot pre-workout primer that encourages blood flow to the muscles. One of the smallest and lightest guns we tested, it’s the same size as a bottle of water making it perfect to add to your gym bag or take on holiday. It proved easy to control (there’s just one responsive button so you don’t have to fumble around trying to figure out what to press), it moved smoothly over skin and the quiet motor meant no turning the TV up mid-massage. But the long, curved handle meant users could easily reach awkward knots on their back, and all four interchangeable heads were able to glide over the skin, making for a remarkably relaxing massage.

Dragging yourself out of bed early in the morning can be a struggle at the best of times, but especially when crippling DOMS make your muscles feel like you’ve gone 12 rounds in the boxing ring. We try to add a twist of our humor into each video in our quest to be the "Most Famous Physical Therapists on the Internet" In our opinion of course! It’s also straightforward to use and no problem to handle, being just 620g, while the battery life was one of the best we tested, lasting a whole five hours.However, it does boast a lot of features – six massage heads, five speed settings and an app – that not everyone will want, let alone need, so don’t assume the most expensive gun will be the best match for you. Its laudable range of massage heads includes a four-finger attachment that mimics a human hand (it sounds creepy, but it’s effective! Instead, concentrate on the big, meaty muscles such as the biceps, triceps, thighs and glutes, and don't use it for too long — it will only make things sorer! It’s also incredibly lightweight and comes with a storage pouch, which adds to its portability credentials. Coming in just behind its older brother, the MuscleGun Carbon, it was hard to find fault with this pocket-friendly massager.
