Massage guns are considered a miracle weapon against muscle tension. The test shows which models are really good.
The massage gun is a small, handy device designed to eliminate tension in the fascia and muscles. A massage gun can help with back problems or neck pain in particular: powerful, fast hits and vibration promote blood circulation and loosen muscle tissue. In addition, the massager is a very good supplement for athletes. A treatment before or after training can support muscle building, even prevent muscle soreness and contribute to regeneration.
But some caution is required when using massage guns. Because even if it feels good, if you misuse the device or overdo it, the quick hits can hurt. In the best case, have a physiotherapist show you how to use it beforehand.
Which massage gun is really recommended? Our partner AllesBeste* has extensively tested 15 devices in practical use. The 4 top devices are shown in the table below.
