Massage guns offer what is called percussive therapy by offering short, sharp bursts of energy deep into the body’s muscle tissue.

Percussive therapy offers the benefits of a massage, without the expense or hassle by massaging your muscles through repetitive vibrations and a pulsing or pounding motion.

Research shows that percussive therapy can help stop delayed onset muscle soreness, help your muscles heal faster and speed up recovery time.

And you don't need to be an athlete to use one - anyone from a runner to a home-worker can use a massage gun to ease muscle tension and pain.
