But, let’s face it, regular appointments with a massage therapist can be a bit pricey. Luckily, Amazon shoppers have discovered an affordable way to enjoy a relaxing massage at home. The Portable Muscle Massage Device with 8 Massage Heads is currently the top-selling product on Amazon, priced at £19.99 here. With a stellar rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, it’s easy to see why this handy device has become such a hit. Users have praised its effectiveness in relieving muscle tension, soothing tired limbs, and easing aches and pains. Plus, its variety of settings and attachments make it a versatile tool for any massage needs. The massage gun comes with eight different head attachments, each designed to target specific muscle groups. These various attachments are also great for relieving stiffness, increasing blood pressure, and improving overall soft tissue health.

It’s a featherlight dream at just 1.7lbs, making this massage gun a breeze to use, so you can target those tricky spots effortlessly without any arm ache. Plus, it boasts an ultra-quiet motor for peaceful pampering sessions, delivering up to a powerful 3600 taps per minute on the highest setting. The smart device knows when to call it quits, too. It’ll power down after 20 minutes to save your muscles from overdoing it, with a daily 10-20 minute massage being the recommended time frame for the best (and safest) results. Charging is also a cinch with a USB Type C cable, and the battery’s stamina is impressive, lasting up to 15 days (if you stick to the 20-minute-a-day rule), perfect for holidays or stashing in your gym kit. Amazon customers are heaping praise on the massage gadget, with one sharing: “The massager is worth every penny at a reasonable price. It makes you feel relaxed, and the compact bag it comes in is perfect for travel. Great product! “. Another happy user commented: “Great value for money with a variety of heads and settings, easy to use and comes in a lovely hard wearing case.” Whilst another chimed in with: “Obviously better products out there but Great value for money.”

If you fancy a splurge on something more luxurious to aid muscle pain, the Homedics Mini Massage Gun, priced at £59.99 with a fantastic 4.7 out of 5 rating from Boots shoppers, is just the ticket. Unlike the Amazon variant, it offers four attachments each suited perfectly to a different body part, and also has six intensity settings for a personalised massage experience, reports the Mirror. One satisfied Boots user described: “This is a good sized “mini” massager, bought to replace a larger and heavier one which broke down after only a few years. I can reach all the muscles that need help functioning, but because it’s not too heavy it doesn’t put a strain on my hands and wrists. I particularly like the extra feature which allows me to change speed by applying pressure. It means I can begin very gently and, with careful control, wake the muscles up at the end if I wish.” Another chimed in: “I am happy with my purchase. It is so small but very powerful and serves my purpose. I had swollen calfs and I started using this massage gun and it releases muscles. I now started to use for my shoulders and back. It is not heavy and I can use it any time I want. Very happy with my purchase. USB charging is also easy.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK! MagazineFacebookTwitterMore OnHealth
