What to Look for In a Massage Gun
But before we dive in, let’s take a quick second to better understand how these massage guns all made the cut. Here’s what we looked for in a percussive massage gun:
Design and Ergonomics
A good massage gun is undoubtedly an investment, so you’ll want to make sure it’s well-made and gets the job done before purchasing. A comfortable handle with easy access to the controls is essential, but it doesn’t hurt if the massage gun has a sleek-looking design, too.
Features
We looked at both the features on the massage guns themselves, as well as what came in the box. This helped us to determine what differentiated one model from another so that you can better weigh differences in price.
Battery Life and Charging
If you’re going to be using your massage gun with any degree of frequency, it’s important to know how long it’s going to last before the battery cuts out.
Noise
Massage guns can tend to be noisy, so it’s important to consider the noise level in any given massage gun before you buy. Of course, it’s ultimately a matter of personal preference and your noise threshold.
With these factors in mind, these are the best massage guns of 2021.
