Everywhere we look these days we’re bombarded with content of people going to town on themselves with a massage gun and we want in. Heck, even model Miranda Kerr can’t get enough of the nifty invention.

Let’s be real – who isn’t looking for a self-administered rigorous massage sesh in lieu of getting the absolute sh*t thrashed out of them by a registered masseuse? Seriously, is getting wrung out like a sponge in the comfort of our own home too much to ask for?

So, if you’re after the kind of violent relief that only a motorised pummeling can deliver, then look no further than these seven massage guns.

Therabody Theragun G3 Massage Gun

In the world of massage guns, the Theragun reigns supreme (if you’re willing to spend an extra bit of coin that is). Relieve muscle tension and tightness and soothe aches and pains with this ergonomic pick that aids in warming up muscles and muscle recovery by utilising up to 18kg of ‘no-stall’ force. This bad boy also comes with a protective travel case and four additional foam attachment heads for customised use.

Homedics Handheld Physio Massager Gun

This massage gun utilises high-frequency pulse action to target muscles at a deep level, easing tension and promoting recovery. Switch your personal massage sesh up using the five additional head attachments and three pulse intensity levels.

This USB-chargeable mini massager penetrates up to 10mm deep for effective relief from muscle tension, soreness, fatigue and lactic acid build-up after exercise. Everybody say, “ahh”.

Kogan Ultra Light Portable Massage Gun

Not only is this massage gun super lightweight at just 500 grams, it also costs less than $100 and looks like a space-age gun. Target tension using any of the three massage heads and speed levels, all while looking like Barbarella. This is what dreams are made of.

Therabody Theragun Mini Massage Gun

If lugging around a giant massage gun just doesn’t fit into your plans for the day, never fear because Theragun is here (again), with this portable, mini massage gun. Enjoy the same ergonomic comfort as a full-size gun, as well as three speed settings, QuietForce technology and 150 minutes of battery life.

Hydragun

If your level of muscle soreness rivals that of an Olympic athlete, you’ll need the massage gun beloved by such champions. Ideal for those who like to pummel knots while in a meditative state, the Hydragun is one of the quietest massage guns on the market. It also comes with six attachments to target every muscle group and those tricky inner joints.
