For example, a 2014 study from the National Library of Medicine in the USA confirmed that percussive therapy 'significantly' reduces DOMS at 24, 48 and 72 hours after exercise. These are the intended areas of application for each massage gun head we came across (under various names) in our tests: Among the six interchangeable heads HoMedics includes with its Pro Physio massage gun are a ‘heat head’, which you can set to heat up to 47˚C in less than two minutes, and a ‘cold head’, which you can keep in the freezer. For many, these will make all the difference to training and everyday comfort. The device is also mercifully quiet, and glides smoothly over your skin or clothes, whichever head you use (barrel, ball and arrow are all included, as well as cellulite, hot and cold).

You also get five interchangeable foam attachments (dampener, standard ball, wedge, thumb and cone) and five speeds (1,750-2,400ppm), giving you many different combinations of surface and intensity for different muscle groups and parts of your body. You’re guided through these combinations and helped to achieve your perfect massage programme by the app. To find the best massagers on the market, our editors tested 50 different massagers in the The Verywell Health Lab.

Three cheers for us.There is inconclusive research about some of the longer-term scientific benefits of using massage guns, as they are relatively new products that are still being investigated and debated.

I think that massagers are not a bad idea as long as they are not pushed too strong and not overused,” says Dr. Kalika. We consider the Viktor Jurgen a basic massager since it only has two adjustable speeds and one heat setting. For safety, we like that it will automatically shut off after 15 minutes of use and overheat protection so it won't get too hot. For the price, you can't do much better. However, more advanced massagers are on our list should you want an even more personalized experience. Effectiveness: We noted how successful each massager was at relieving tension, how enjoyable it was to use, how much effort was required to get the desired result, and if it lowered a feeling of pain or stiffness.
