This HoMedics massage gun is solidly built and relatively quiet—we could hear a TV show while massaging. The Hypervolt 2 is Bluetooth enabled and connects to the straightforward Hyperice app, which, like the Theragun app, allows you to follow along with guided programs tailored to a specific sport, activity, or body part.

She noticed her skin was softer and brighter, but noted that no studies prove that microcurrent is an effective facial treatment. If you can find it on sale and don't need all the latest updates, you should still be happy with this one.

It uses heat, like the Theragun Pro Plus and Gravity Move, but its temperature attachment also includes cold therapy, going from 38 degrees to 115 degrees. For post-activity recovery, relaxation, or targeted attention on a tight spot, spend one to two minutes per area, holding the massage gun gently but steadily on knots or tender areas as tolerated. If you want a gentler massage and the option of using a handle with a longer-than-average reach: Lyric’s The Therapeutic Massager might appeal to you.

But we didn’t like the attachments: Though cheerful (one is a round, yellow smiley face), they felt cheap and a little silly, and we had a few issues with specific ones popping out during use. The Ekrin Athletics B37S Percussion Massager has an eight-hour battery life, the longest out of all the massage guns on this list.Choosing the Best Massage GunWhen choosing a massage gun, it's important to consider factors such as the weight, noise level, battery life, and overall ease of use.
