Are massage guns worth the investment?
If you run, weight train or workout regularly, yes, a massage gun is a great investment and an easy way to level up your home recovery. Not sure whether to go for a Hydragun or a Theragun? I have a Hydragun and here’s why I think you should buy it. It’s super quiet – you barely notice it’s on. It’s got a much longer-lasting battery life – for context, I use mine weekly and have charged it twice in the year I’ve had it – plus comes with a handful of different heads to target your different body parts. Plus, it’s seriously effective at easing aching, stiff muscle pain.
While it may be called a massage gun, it’s not quite the same as a massage – instead, it’s a hand-held device that pounds, wiggles, and jiggles you with a round, hard ball. In professional terms, it’s called percussive therapy and works by whacking your muscles at a fast tempo to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation and decrease soreness. Nice.
While regular massages may not be affordable for most at £60 a go, investing the same amount in a massage gun seems like a sure deal.
These tools are used by pro athletes and are a much more cost-effective way of targeting problem areas without having to routinely see a masseuse. And unlike other massaging tools like foam rollers, massage guns can precisely target specific problem areas, which makes the benefits of these tech tools very much worth it.
