Unlock Your Body’s Hidden Recovery Superpowers: The 5 Massage Guns That Actually Deliver Results

Ever found yourself too sore to even think about working out—yet somehow still craving relief? Yeah, same here. After pushing our bodies to the brink (and sometimes without even moving a muscle), we dove headfirst into the world of massage guns. It’s wild how these gadgets have stepped up the recovery game, but not all percussion devices are created equal. So, we put them all through the wringer—side-by-side—digging into everything from how user-friendly the displays are (because who wants a cryptic app when all you want is a simple, guided massage?) to the nitty-gritty design details that make holding and controlling the beast a breeze. And don’t get me started on the percussion power—some guns just know how to hit those muscles with that perfect blend of force and rhythm that leaves you feeling like a champ, not a mishandled mop. Curious which ones stood out in our sweaty showdown? LEARN MORE

Well… we worked out until we were sore, then we used all these massage guns. Sometimes we didn’t even need to work out. We are just that old and sore! We also ran side-by-side tests to compare the nitty-gritty, and these are the attributes we looked for.

Ease of use: The display should be easy to read, and the app should be easy to navigate. We’re not all physical therapists, so the guided massages need to be simple to follow, with diagrams showing where to massage for each muscle group.

Design touches: The Theragun’s triangle handle is the best example, but the Hypervolt 2 Pro has a lovely dial to control speed. The Renpho gun has an LCD screen just like Theragun, but it’s not quite as refined. These are the small things that make a big difference when you’re actually massaging.

Percussion performance: How hard and how fast can the gun actually hit your muscles? It doesn’t take a lot, but the higher-end guns, specifically the Hypervolt and the Theragun, just feel that extra bit nicer. They hit your muscles with more even and consistent force.
