BONDIR R2 PRO Massage Gun - Articulating Deep Tissue Back Massager with Extension Handle and 7X Heads Including Heated Attachment

Product Information

The iReliev is a well-rounded massage gun option beloved by massage gun enthusiasts, and we’re confident you’ll enjoy it, too. Whether you’re sore from your last workout or stiff from sitting in an office chair all day, getting a massage can be a reliable way to relieve the pain. But if regular massages are too costly or you want to knead out the tension between appointments, you may be searching for a way to achieve similar results at home.

Be mindful of your pressure. It’s tempting to apply a lot of pressure when using a massage gun, but this can actually do more harm than good. Be gentle and use light to moderate pressure instead. The build quality is top-notch, and the device is easy to handle. The various attachments provide different massage experiences, catering to your specific needs. Muscle Re-Activation- 15 Seconds: Mid-workout and feeling a little tired? Muscles starting to fatigue or spasm? Give them a little boost with another 15 second session. This massage gun has three speeds ranging from 1,750 to 2,400 percussions per minute. It has 12 mm of amplitude, which is deep for a mini massage gun. By comparison, the Bantam massage gun only has 10 mm of amplitude.This is what i do for entertainment and your viewing entertainment! Some of the stuff are entertaining, while some are just plain silly. If you do anything with your own property, you do so at your own risk. They’re designed to combat muscle soreness and aid recovery. It’s a deep tissue massage of sorts, achieved through rapid percussive movements that stimulate muscles, enhance blood flow and soften knots. You can use them while warming up or post-work out, and they feel good too, hitting all the right pressure points that can enhance the production of endorphins. At the very least, massage guns can provide some short-term relief for problem areas. The weighted blanket brand we love also makes great massagers, as it turns out. This little device is powerful. Even level one moves so fast it's hard to see. More and more devices are adding heat, as this one does. The metal attachment reaches 126 degrees Fahrenheit and is controlled by a button directly on it, rather than the main button on the handle. This means you can use it with or without pulsations, and even without it being attached to the device at all. The attachment needs to be charged separately, too. It has its own USB-C charging port, which I've never seen before (it comes with two chargers). Massage guns can also potentially help you recover from heavy sessions. “Once the body is relaxed, you will decrease cortisol levels (stress) and create an optimal healing environment for recovery, getting towards an anabolic state of recovery,” says Giordano. “To do that, spend 90 to 120 seconds moving up and down each muscle group.” Our expert said it was a cinch to use, with one responsive control button that was easy to reach mid-massage for cycling through the speeds. The lights help show which setting you’re on and will signal when it’s almost out of juice, ensuring you never have to skip a post-workout pummel.

The Large Ball- The most commonly used attachment. Depending on the manufacturer, it’s made of either a dense rubber or hardened foam. Designed to treat both large and medium group muscles, this is the tip to use if you want to use a massage gun on your legs or calves. Overall, the most versatile massage gun tip of the bunch. Almost lost the lower rubber cover, there should be a place to store it when using the extended handle. The Sonic has the most massage head attachments of all the massage guns on this list. However, it's on the bigger side so it's not suitable for traveling. An issue I had with the Sonic is that I had to set it at the highest setting to feel the power of the massage gun. This is less common with heavy-duty massage guns, like the Theragun, because you can feel the intensity at the lowest setting. Another aspect that could be improved is the design on the body of the gun. It's made up of plastic, which makes it appear less durable.New upgrades include customizable speed ranges and visually guided built-in routines through the OLED screen: Sleep, Warm Up, Recovery and Theragun Break. Other additions include a new attachment, the Micropoint, intended to increase stimulation. It also has Bluetooth connection, so it's easy to manage from the Therabody app.

Otherwise, if you're new to percussive therapy this is a good option that gives you the full experience without breaking the bank. Theragun introduced its first mass-market massage gun in 2016. Competitors soon jumped into the market as a wide range of people from pro athletes to casual runners started turning to the devices in a bid to go beyond foam rollers for DIY athletic recovery. While some experts say massage guns can be an effective way to relieve muscle pain, it’s important to understand their benefits, limitations, and key features before you buy one. For most individuals, using a massage gun is a very therapeutic experience. While it may feel slightly uncomfortable to use in some spots, it largely should provide some degree of relief. The Hypervolt has five head attachments: a fork, ball, cushion, flat and bullet head. It also has a three-hour battery life and is TSA-friendly, so you can take it with you while traveling. The Hypervolt 2 has Bluetooth capability and connects to the Hyperice app, which is available for iPhones and Androids.

The BONDIR R2 Massage Gun with its extension handle is a true gem for anyone seeking deep tissue relief. With its impressive 5-star rating, it's clear that this massager has won the hearts of many. What’s unique about these guns is that they go much deeper than the handheld massagers used to go, so you really feel it,” says Michael Fredericson, MD, a professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Stanford University. When lighter techniques like stretching and gentle massage don’t improve symptoms, a more vigorous approach might be necessary. They may often look like power tools, but the benefits of massage guns include decreased muscle tension, relaxed muscles, and promoted blood flow,” says Dr Daniel Giordano, CMO of Bespoke Treatments. “We use one on a daily basis, and it can be used before, during or after a workout.” How to Use a Massage Gun for Best Results The Flat Head- A great multipurpose attachment. From the pecs to the glutes, the flat head is able to provide a more dense massage over the large ball. Because it doesn’t have any sharp edges, it won’t hurt quite as much if you happen to run over bones while massaging. People with chronic pain also need to be extra careful with percussive massage. Fredericson says deep pressure could cause pain to flare, especially in those with fibromyalgia. And if a muscle is particularly sore, whether from a workout or stress-related tension, don’t overdo the pressure. “That muscle will only tense up more if it’s in a lot of pain,” Gangstad says.

It's the definition of simple. Just point the gun at your fleshy target – around an inch away from your skin over whichever muscle you’re trying to loosen or warm up – and hit the trigger for instant relief. As we exercise and challenge our muscles, we cause breakdown within the muscle fibers, which in turn stimulates muscle growth and regrowth, hypertrophy (increased muscle size), and strength. Mechanical stimulation of a muscle [with a device like the Theragun] causes increased blood flow and the release of histamines to the stimulated area. What this does is allow the increased blood flow to decrease the inflammatory response, decrease muscle soreness, and break up knots in athletes' musculature." Plonksi has seen anecdotal evidence supporting the use of a Theragun-like device, and no apparent negative effects, but she recommends people always talk to a physician before trying a device. Ergonomics: Look for a gun that easily allows you to reach the areas you want to massage, Gangstad suggests, so you don’t have to contort your body. In our evaluations, we found that devices with a triangle or partial triangle-shaped grip tend to perform best in measures of ergonomics, says Paul Ritchey, DrPH, a human factors and ergonomics specialist in CR’s Consumer Experience and Usability Research program. To make sure you actually like using the gun, Davé recommends venturing to a walk-in store where you can hold the massager in your hands.A massage gun favoured by athletes and Olympians alike (we're talking Tokyo 2020 gold medalists here), the Hydragun is one of the most technologically advanced massage guns around right now. Designed with a Smoothdrive motor, it's as quiet as massage guns come, making between 30 to 50db of noise with each use (which, to put that into context, is just slightly louder than a whisper). Using a massage gun can also facilitate lymphatic drainage. The lymphatic system is the ductwork within the body that flushes out the “junk” in the body. From toxins to cell waste, everything is disposed of through the lymphatic system.

With it, you’ll get a 20-speed brushless motor that is not only powerful, but relatively quiet, too. With that many speeds, there’s bound to be a speed that fits your preferences. Better yet, it’s only about 1.5 pounds, and has an easy-to-hold handle with a silicon grip.
