Massage guns can be an effective tool to get rid of aches and pains, something athletes are all too used to.

You’ve likely seen massage guns popping up on your social media feeds or at the gym.

They use a technique known as percussive therapy which activates the nervous system and can alleviate soreness.

With an increasing demand, there’s now a huge range of massage guns available and it can be hard to choose the best one for you.

Here are six options to suit a range of budgets.

RENPHO R3 Mini Massage Gun

Some of the most elite massage guns come with a hefty price, but Renpho’s R3 Mini Massage Gun is a great mid-range option. It comes with good power, a long battery life and five custom heads.

Theragun Mini Massage Gun

Theragun is probably the biggest name on the scene and their Mini Massage Gun is the most affordable model. It has three speed options and still has some decent power. It’s also one of the sleekest guns to fit easily in your backpack.

Theragun PRO Massage Gun

The PRO model is Theragun’s flagship massage gun. It has an adjustable arm for getting to your back and neck, an easy-to-grip handle so you can control the power, and it connects to an app. If you’re happy to pay the price tag, this is definitely one to consider.

MuscleGun Carbon Massage Gun

This option comes with five power settings, four interchangeable head and a five-hour battery life. The angled handle makes it easier to use on hard-to-reach areas than other models. It’s another solid mid-range performer.
