Product Information

The case it comes in may be slightly too big to carry around comfortably, but the gun itself is lightweight and surprisingly quiet, considering its size. Minor cons aside, this pocket-friendly pal is significantly cheaper than the other Therabody options in our round-up.

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. Hold in the on/off button for a few seconds to turn it on, then cycle through the intensities with each press.It will help you recover faster, boost your circulation and lymphatic drainage, increase your flexibility and extend your range of motion – ultimately improving your performance across the board.

Opt for a gun that comes with a choice of massage heads, from the standard ball attachment to thumb, wedge and cones for trickier and more sensitive areas. It’s also incredibly lightweight and comes with a storage pouch, which adds to its portability credentials.It has an impressive five intensity levels, so you can really find the perfect level for different areas and we particularly liked the attachment designed for the lower back or Achilles tendon. My favourite attachment to use is the foam ball, and the only attachment I haven’t used is the bullet which is too hard and the pressure too concentrated for me but that’s just personal preference and it’s great that there’s a choice of attachments. Good Housekeeping participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites. The HoMedics Pro comes with a carry case, but as it's on the larger side it isn’t the best for on-the-go use.

I wasn’t familiar with Bob and Brad before this brilliant massage gun arrived on my doorstep, but now I’m totally obsessed. If you’re after something gentler than the more intimidating massage guns available, you’ll like this model’s variable speed dial for improved intensity control. Also I experince a problem with one band and they solve it inmediatly, and send me more than one replacement. One of the smallest and lightest guns we tested, it’s the same size as a bottle of water making it perfect to add to your gym bag or take on holiday.Sure, it’s the size of a standard mobile phone but the Carbon Go has everything its chunkier counterparts offer and more.

Reaching trickier areas such as the lower back can feel a bit awkward, and you can only fit one head in the case, but these are minor flaws for an otherwise exceptional product. Note, the heat settings are on the gentle side, and we would have liked the touchscreen to be a tad more responsive. It has four speed settings for more tailored recovery and a handy LED touchscreen to switch between the speeds and keep track of battery level.

If you’re planning to take your massage gun to the gym with you, consider its weight, portability and battery life. Bob Schrupp and Brad Heineck are known as ‘the most famous Physical Therapists on the internet’ – with the appropriate qualifications and 60 years of physical therapy experience between them. Massage guns can also be incorporated into your running warm-up routine to help loosen up your muscles, as well as during exercise to help clear your limbs of lactic acid and toxins. They rated the range of attachments for addressing all leg muscles, but their favourite was the ‘invor’ head, which is designed to stimulate the nerves in your feet – just what you need after a Sunday long run. Getting started was simple, and it didn’t take long until the fast-charing battery was ready to go (extra points for the USB-C charging port, which is universally the most useful in my humble opinion).
