This may not be the best option for everyone since you can get a similar experience with a less expensive device. However, athletes and others who are physically active all day would benefit the most from this full-featured massage gun. The Hypervolt handle could be improved by being designed to access hard-to-reach areas, like the back. I would’ve also liked more speed options, which the Hypervolt 2 Pro has, but it’s bigger and heavier. A deep muscle massager gun is a handheld massage tool that applies pulses of concentrated pressure deep into your muscle tissue.It can be used for daily relaxation.
(The Theragun Prime is the only one of our picks to have this feature.) We had no problems connecting. The app itself offers a bunch of guided programs for body parts, beginners, warm-ups, recoveries, and more. We tried several and concluded that they’re helpful if you’d like some instructional direction or want to tailor your usage to a specific activity or muscle group.
It can massage quickly and pretty fiercely, but our tester’s experience was pain-free. Its manual is helpful, and it comes with a USB charging cable for on-the-go refuelling. The chunky handle shakes heavily at full power, but that was our tester’s only niggle, and lowering
the speed is a doddle should your arm start to ache. That said, you should err on the side of caution if you suffer from an existing injury or lower back pain. Of course, not all muscle groups need the same kind of pressure, and that’s where attachments come in.
For comparison, massage guns that aren’t explicitly categorized as minis tend to weigh between 2.5 and 4 pounds. As I mentioned earlier, the Renpho R3 isn’t quite a mini, but it isn’t quite full-sized either. Over the last four years, I’ve written more than 20 articles about massage guns (yes, I counted), including an in-depth guide to the best massage guns. Theragun is a powerhouse in the massage gun market, and after testing the brand’s most popular massage gun models, the Theragun Prime was our favorite.
Our tester noted that it was difficult to hold with one hand when massaging hard-to-reach areas like the back, so the weight is a compromise to consider if you’re looking for a powerful device. We think it’s worth the tradeoff, given that the device earned a perfect score of 5 out of 5 for effectiveness. Some users have reported that the lowest setting is still quite powerful. It features five speed settings and four head attachments, from flat to cylinder, and Renpho promises a torque that’s 1.5 times higher than competitors—which means a lower likelihood of stalling.
