These Vibrating Massage Tools Feel Just As Good As A Massage - Refinery29

[massage]

Even if you think you have an extensive vibrator collection, there's always room for more — especially when they help other parts of your body, like your muscles. Vibrating massage guns and tools have taken off with people who work out a lot and don't have time to foam roll or get a deep-tissue massage. Like a foam roller, these tools are designed to release areas of tissue that may be stuck or stiff. And, honestly, they can bring on just as much pleasure and relief as a vibrator, just a different kind.


Problem is, these vibrating tools can be pretty pricey. The good ones will cost you upwards of $300, which is like the price of a very expensive manual massage. But when you consider how often you'd use this massager, and the fact that muscle recovery is really important for preventing injuries, it might be well worth the price tag.

Theragun G3


While this massage gun by far provides the strongest and most rapid vibrations, it's also quite loud. That said, there are two speeds that you can adjust, and it can be very effective for pulverizing your large muscle groups after a tough workout. You also get three different shaped heads for the device to vary the intensity.

Best for: overall muscle relief.

Hyperice Hypervolt Portable Massage Device


Those of us who want to massage while we watch TV, this is the massage gun to buy. It's much quieter than other similar models, and just as effective. The kit includes four interchangeable heads, and it can be adjusted at three different speeds.

Best for: multitasking muscle recovery.

Exerscribe Personal Percussion Massage Gun


This is similar to other massage guns in its shape and function, but reviewers comment that it's kind of clunky in action. Given the price, it might be a good starter massage gun for you to see if you even like the device and would use it in your routine.

Best for: deep pressure.
