Coping with stress and anxiety. The enhanced blood flow improves oxygen consumption, which results in better breathing. The latter, in its turn, brings down stress and relieves anxiety. A deep tissue percussive massage helps your body flush unwanted toxins and speed up your recovery. By removing any built-up lactic acid you can also avoid the dreaded Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). For athletes. Percussion massagers are used by professional trainers as they are known to help athletes enhance their performance. After intense workouts, they have to deal with sore muscles, which is why recovery is an integral part of professional-level workouts. Providing more muscular contractions, these devices reduce recovery time, while the enhanced blood flow decreases fatigue. All this makes the athletes stronger and more durable. Additionally, it comes with two rechargeable batteries, so you can charge one while the other is in use. Massage guns tend to come with a variety of massage heads of all shapes and sizes. Each feels different and are intended for use on different muscle groups.Material. Your massager will last longer if it is made from a durable, high-quality material. Make sure that the unit has aluminum or stainless steel parts. High-quality material is also safer in case the device overheats. Topical products: Use topical products, such as massage oil, CBD balm, and analgesic ointment, to reduce friction and make applying pressure easier during a self-massage. The Theragun Pro is the most expensive item on our list, but we think it’s the best percussion massager. Dr. Allen Conrad also considers the Pro and the simplified Theragun Prime the best on the market. It has a professional-grade motor that works quietly yet effectively. With four unique arm positions, it’s easy to go underneath and around to reach wherever you need to, and the ergonomic handle means your hands and wrists won’t get tired.

One-person/two-person. Some models are larger in size and require someone to move the unit along your body. This is not a problem for some people as they can ask their partners to do so, while others prefer massager that can be used without assistance. For example, if you have to travel a lot, the latter type will be the best option for you.Its five power settings are simple to control, and range from a gentle massage to a vigorous pummelling that's suited to large, particularly tight muscles. It's seriously fast, delivering between 1,400 and 3,200 pulses per minute. This aesthetically pleasing device from up-and-coming massage gun brand Lola is all over the internet right now and after testing it, we can see why. Not only does it look the part, but it also scored highly for design, ease of use and performance. Use your massage gun as part of your warm-up to stimulate the flow of blood and oxygen around the targeted areas and help prevent injuries. The Shavron Vibration Massage Gun is approximately the same price as the Hydragun, above, and is another excellent mid-range percussive massager. It's not as quiet, but it's lighter, making it more comfortable to hold for long sessions. A timer will cut the motor after 10 minutes to help ensure you don't keep going for longer than is recommended.
