About this deal
Since writing this review, Physion have released a newer updated version of the Pro massage gun and now have a mini version. This well-designed massage gun earned an instant thumbs up for its long, curved handle that helped our testers reach all their aching muscles. It still delivers a decent massage too, though the smaller heads mean it doesn’t cover a large area as quickly as a full-size gun would.
However, if you’re a committed gym-goer or someone who really suffers with sore muscles, you may need to spend more for extra or larger attachments or speed settings. This hero model is hard to fault; it’s a little heavy and our arms started to ache after a while, but that’s a tiny quibble. If you're looking for a massage gun that really packs a punch, the Hydragun could be the one for you.We found it really easy to use, too and we were really impressed with its manual, too - actually featuring real-life test subjects, so you could safely practice using your gun appropriately.
Rob Clymo has been a tech journalist for more years than he can actually remember, having started out in the wacky world of print magazines before discovering the power of the internet. This massager reaches 45C in seconds and we found it incredibly effective at soothing our muscles after a workout and just helping us to relax after a day at our desk. What’s more, it’s surprisingly quiet for such a bulky machine – in fact, it was one of quietest massage guns on test. The MyoLite comes with four different heads, and we found them all effective after an achy work-out - or even after a long day crunched over our desks. The Prime has five built-in speeds, but you can also select any speed between 1,750–2,400 percussions per minute to customize your treatment in manual mode.Note, this machine comes with just two massage heads, which is less than the others on this list, but it you’re after quick and easy muscle relief, it’s no problem. The solid triangular handle can be tricky to grip in certain positions, but it does lend the device a handsome look and durability, which it’ll need if it’s being thrown around in your gym bag every morning. The size makes it easy to maneuver: We never felt like the massage gun was going to slip out of our hands or get too unwieldy while testing. Whether you’re looking to improve your wellbeing or take your workouts to the next level, a massage gun is a handy companion to have.
