The agony of choice

The hype surrounding pain-relieving hand massagers continues and means that Amazon is literally flooded with offers: A search for “massage gun” spits out countless results – and every second one (if not more) has a conspicuous note that more or less satisfies you. Discount or a “limited-time offer” is promoted.

Anyone looking for the perfect model here is spoiled for choice. The “bestseller” award can only be relied on to a limited extent: On the one hand, this changes very often (which is sometimes due to the discount war), and on the other hand, it can happen that today’s bestseller suddenly disappears from the range tomorrow – at least there is no trace of the massage gun we bought in the middle of the year in the search results.

That is why we have concentrated on the devices with the most and best reviews in the selection above, which were of course checked for authenticity beforehand. Whether a more expensive model is actually better is up for debate. However, there are a few Quality features or characteristics that you should pay attention to when buying (and which influence the price accordingly):

• Essays: Different muscle groups require different massage heads. The number of interchangeable attachments depends on personal needs. However, you should have at least four.
• Weight: The weight of the massage gun should be as low as possible. After all, you want to enjoy the massage for as long as possible without your arm getting heavy when handling it.
• Battery: One application usually takes ten to 15 minutes. However, the battery should last longer than 30 minutes if possible in order to be able to massage several muscle groups without interruption. A USB port is practical for charging.
• Perfomance: The speeds on the massage gun should be directly adjustable. The more levels, the more flexible the muscle groups can be massaged. The performance is measured in percussions per minute (PPM for short).

Amazon Prime Day discounts: massage guns are always there

Discounts sometimes up to 60 percent are not uncommon with massage guns, as the Amazon offers prove. After deductions, the average price is between 30 and 60 euros. Beginners and occasional athletes don’t have to spend any more money. Anyone who often suffers from back or neck pain can’t go wrong with such an inexpensive device (if used properly). Since almost all models are shipped by Amazon, returning them if you don’t like them shouldn’t be a problem. Hasta la vista, tension!

However, you shouldn’t overdo it with the massages. You can find tips and recommendations on the number of applications in FitForFun’s buying guide.
