It’s equally popular with my family who, fed up of listening to a whirring akin to a broken washing machine while they’re trying to watch TV, relish the fact that when this device says it’s ‘whisper quiet’, it really is (especially on the lower settings). The Pulseroll Ignite Pro Massage Gun is an affordable alternative to physiotherapy visits, saving you money on physio visits and making it ideal for use in the comfort of your home or between sessions.

Powerful massage action suitable for pre-workout and post-workout, with 3 intensity levels, designed to release tight aching muscles.The material on this site may not be reproduced, distributed, transmitted, cached or otherwise used, except with the prior written permission of Condé Nast. One button on the top of the device is used to switch it on and off and control the vibrations, which can be set at speeds ranging from 1750 to 2400 percussions per minute (PPM).

If you’re a serious athlete wanting a powerful machine, note the amplitude — the higher the number, measured in millimetres, the more deeply the massage gun can hit. The ergonomic design is super sleek and lightweight, giving the massage gun an all-embracing comfortable grip. Percussive Therapy is based on Tapotement a form of Swedish massage involving repetitive strikes to the body. It wasn’t the smoothest massaging experience but if you’re on the market for a cheaper option that still delivers on quality and performance, this one’s hard to beat.With two handy control buttons, you can easily switch between different speeds and massage modes and switch the device on and off. High-Quality Attachments: Micro-Point works as a muscle stimulator, Supersoft is best used on joints, bones and sensitive areas, Wedge for shoulder pain relief, and Thumb for trigger points or lower back pain. The metal attachment reaches 126 degrees Fahrenheit and is controlled by a button directly on it, rather than the main button on the handle. After using them for five to 10 minutes as a warm-up tool before a workout and to cool down afterwards, I feel tangible benefits including less DOMS.
