What to look for in a massage gun

A short checklist covers most of what actually matters day to day:

• Size and weight. The one you'll reach for is the one that fits where you keep it — a gym bag, a desk drawer, a carry-on.
• Noise. A quiet motor is the difference between using it in a shared office and not using it at all.
• Speed range. Two or three usable settings beats a long list you'll never cycle through.
• Attachment heads. A rounded head for large muscles and a smaller one for specific spots covers most situations.
• Battery and charging. USB charging means one less cable to keep track of.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a session be?
Around 30 seconds per muscle group before training, and one to two minutes afterwards. Longer isn't better.

Before or after a workout?
Both work, for different reasons — brisk and short beforehand, slower and gentler afterwards. Our guide on using a massage gun before or after a workout covers the timings.

Where shouldn't I use one?
Keep it off bones, joints, the front of the neck, and any injured or swollen area.

Is it suitable for everyone?
These are comfort and recovery tools for healthy muscle, not treatments for injuries or medical conditions. If you have a health condition or ongoing pain, check with a healthcare professional first.
