I researched the best massage guns for the past few days because I need one for muscle relief and faster recovery after workouts. I checked reviews on sites like Healthline, Men’s Health, and Consumer Reports, and they consistently highlight these two as top choices:
And another concludes: "The use of muscle gun devices is recommended as part of a structured warm-up pre-exercise due to an increase in range of motion, reduction in perceived muscle soreness whilst having no negative impact on muscle activation and force output. Muscle guns may also be implemented as part of a rehabilitation programme post injury due to their ability to increase range of motion and reduce perceived pain and muscle soreness."
Between those two, if noise level is a huge factor for you, go with the TheraGun right away. I had a cheaper TOLOCO one a few years ago and it sounded like a small drill press running in the living room. It was strong, sure, but I couldn’t use it late at night without waking everyone up. The higher-end TheraGuns are much quieter thanks to the design. It’s worth the extra money just for the usability factor if you’re using it regularly indoors. You need to be able to use it while watching TV.
