A well-built and versatile massage gun that uses attachments rather than modes to offer different types of massage and stimulation.
Experience post-workout recovery, improved sleep and mobility, and stress relief with this high-quality massage gun. It includes five targeted attachments — a thumb for trigger points, a cone for pinpointing muscle treatment, a wedge for reduced tension and a standard ball and dampener, which can be used on all muscle group. They work on five customizable speed ranges to give you the perfect massage for your needs. This product also stands out for being ultra-quiet.
According to our tester, the effect of this gun “feels pretty similar to getting a massage…. It’s way better than my foam roller as far as convenience and speed, and it feels way more versatile and targeted. “
