Massage Guns

Every massage gun page we publish, in one place: full-size and mini percussion guns. Our ranked guides score five massage guns each with FitScore, built from the specs of 12 guns and weighted for that buyer. The NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health notes that the risk of harm from massage appears low, with more caution for older adults; keep the gun off bones and the front of the neck.

Our top picks

The #1 of our ranking. The ring shows the pick’s FitScore in that ranking.

FitScores are not comparable across rankings: each one uses the weights of its own buying guide.

Massage gun types

Full-size or mini?

Two forms: one goes deeper on large muscles, the other fits in a bag. Start here if you are unsure.

Full-size massage guns

Longer strokes and more stall force for quads, glutes and the back; heavier in the hand. See the picks

Mini massage guns

Pocket-sized and light for the gym bag or a trip; shallower strokes on large muscles. See the picks

Our method

How we rank massage guns

One method across every massage gun guide.

Scored for your use

FitScore weights six categories (percussion, durability, noise and weight, battery and case, attachments, price) for one buying intent, so a full-size gun and a mini are judged on what matters for each.

Specs that matter

Amplitude, stall force, speeds, noise, weight, battery, attachments and warranty are what set these guns apart.

Clear top picks

Every guide names one top pick and four alternatives with a clear role. A brand holds at most two places in each guide.

Ready when you are

Not sure where to start?

Most people do well with the #1 pick of our main guide. If you travel a lot, start with the mini guide.
