After a tough workout, it's easy to let your mind drift to how simple your recovery would be if you had a full-time coach and trainer like a professional athlete. You could just lay there while a schooled pro massaged your aching muscles, broke up tightness and generally helped put your body back together.

While that's a wonderful fantasy, the reality is that for most of us, pain relief and attacking the soreness and pain of tough exertion falls squarely on our own shoulders.

With its four variable speed settings, this myofascial massager digs in to offer deep relief of muscle soreness after exercise, to increase blood flow and help restore your body to tip-top shape.

Along with the gun, users also get four detachable massage heads targeting different areas of the body.
