8 Tips for Choosing a Massage Gun

A massage gun is an excellent device for muscle recovery. They combine percussion with vibration therapy, using oscillation and rapid, repetitive pressure to ease muscle tension and soreness, increase blood flow, and help you quickly get back to your workouts.

Here’s how to choose the best massage gun for your needs.

Portability of the massage gun

Although this device is a handheld massager, some models are bulky. Get one you’ll easily fit into a bag if you plan on taking it with you while traveling or to the gym.

At Ultra Recovery, every percussion massager comes with a portable carry case.

Unique features of the massage gun

The most notable unique features include pressure sensors, Bluetooth connectivity, mobile app control, heating, and cooling. Few models have them, making your therapy seamless and more convenient.

Our UltraGun Elite is the only massage gun with heating and cooling treatment, while the UltraGun Prime provides only the latter. The Elite model even has intelligent battery protection, shutting down automatically after 15 minutes.

Speed of operation

Higher speeds mean more intense massages, but every handheld massager has variable speeds, and some allow you to adjust comfort levels. Choose one with multiple speeds suitable for both sore and aching muscles.

Our models have a 24V brushless motor with adjustable speeds, the UltraGun Elite having the most levels (30) and revolutions per minute (1200-3600 RPM).
