10 Great massage guns for targeted relief

What’s better after a long day of work or an intense gym session than to get targeted relief for your sore muscles? It’s safe to say not many of us have a trained masseuse on call to help us at home, so we can settle for the next best thing with a massage gun.

They’re small, easy to use and great at providing quick relief at your convenience, with the ability to switch between different modes and speed settings. Convinced? Here are some great effective massage guns for your consideration.

It’s very light, coming in at 0.68kg, but can still deliver effective muscle and tension relief.

This massage gun has a high-torque motor, with an active heat element in its main attachment for providing muscle and tissue relief. The heated head can go up to 55 degrees Celsius, while standard, non-heat massage heads are also included.

And even with the massager being able to run at 3200RPM, it functions at a reasonable volume, below 45dB.
