Whether your aching muscles come from a hard workout, long days in front of a computer, or waking up on the wrong side of the bed, muscle soreness can hamper your day. Rather than scheduling expensive massage appointments, opt for a massage gun you can use from home. These handy devices can help relieve muscle tension wherever and whenever you have time, even if it’s just a few minutes in between meetings.
“Most healthy adults may benefit from using a massage gun,” says Anthony Maritato, a licensed physical therapist and certified strength and conditioning specialist. “The best places on your body to use a massage gun include all muscle or fatty tissue areas,” he adds.
To find the best massage guns, we researched a range of options while considering intensity, weight, attachments, and battery life. We also spoke to Kelsey Decker, an NSCA Certified Personal Trainer and Education Coordinator for StretchLab.
Our top pick is the Therabody Theragun Prime Massage Gun, which can appeal to everyday users and athletes. It features fully customizable speeds, Bluetooth connectivity, and five attachments to target every muscle group.

Product Details:
For an all-around, versatile pick, the Therabody Theragun Prime Massage Gun checks all the boxes for adjustable speeds, various attachments, battery life, and smart app compatibility, all in a relatively lightweight device. Whether you’re looking for something easy or want to customize your massage, you can use Theragun Prime pre-set speeds or customize them to the exact percussions per minute you’re looking for.
Massage guns measure intensity by percussions per minute (the vibration) and amplitude (how far the arm moves up and down to reach the body). The higher the number for both, the more intense the massage may feel. Because desired intensity will vary by person and depend on which part of the body you’re using the massage gun, Decker says that a massage gun with varying intensities is ideal so you can adjust as necessary. Most massage guns can range anywhere from 1400–3200 percussions per minute. Amplitudes usually range from 10mm to 16mm, with 16mm giving you the deepest massage.
Many massage guns are within the 1-3 pound range, and while a light massager might seem optimal, you first need to decide what your goals are. “A heavier massage gun requires less pressure from the user to penetrate deeper into large muscle groups like the quadriceps, gluteals, and hamstrings,” says Maritato. A lighter massage gun may need more force but could be easier to maneuver and a better choice for smaller muscle groups like the biceps, triceps, and pectorals.
Massage gun attachments allow you to switch out the massager head for more comfortable use. For example, the standard ball attachment is a general-use attachment; a bullet head can target large, tight muscles; and a flat attachment is best for small muscle groups.
Battery life is important because you don’t want your massage gun to die after one or two uses. While you might not use your massage gun for hours at a time, consider battery life and how long it takes to recharge the massage gun if you plan on using your massage gun on a regular basis.
Massage guns produce a percussion speed (percussions per minute, or RPM) which means they vibrate on your muscles and can help relax them. “The percussion action of the massage gun creates mechanical stimuli that may help to desensitize sensitive tissue, facilitate the fluid exchange to promote healing, and create a therapeutic healing response locally in the soft tissue of the body,” says Maritato.
Anyone can use a massage gun, says Decker, but if someone has vertigo or a pacemaker, the vibration could affect them negatively and they should check with a doctor before using one. In addition, if you have excessive pain, an acute injury, or inflammation, you should avoid using a massage gun.
Focus on muscle and fascia when using a massage gun, says Decker. You can use it to work on tight spots or problem areas, both before workouts or as recovery. Before working out, the massage gun can loosen tight areas and activate your muscles, and post-exercise it can help release tension from the muscle groups you just used. “Stretching is a great muscle tension release method to complement a massage gun,” she adds.
For muscle recovery and general well-being, Maritato says the massage gun should lightly float over the skin and large muscle groups. “The massage gun does not need much pressure to penetrate deep into the soft tissue.”
While using your massage gun, avoid bony areas like the wrist, elbows, knees, and ankles, as well as tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules. You should also not use a massage gun on the face or at the base of the skull.
If you’re new to using a massage gun, start on a lower level and gradually increase the intensity as desired. You can also increase the intensity by applying more pressure, says Decker, who recommends spending about 30 seconds to two minutes per muscle group area.
