Massage gun deals to shop from £22 in Amazon's Spring Sale

In our RW Lab tests, this massage gun was unmatched when it came to recovery sessions. Our expert loved the innovative features, especially the ability to heat up the massage head to 47C for a hot pre-workout primer that encourages blood flow to the muscles.

Alternatively, you can also freeze another of the interchangeable massage heads (there are six to choose from) for a powerful post-run cool down. It was able to glide over their skin without snagging or causing any (additional) discomfort, and was surprisingly quiet in use — ideal for giving your muscles some much-needed TLC in front of the telly.

This versatile (and excellent value) massage gun gives its user plenty of control, with five speed settings and five massage heads to choose from. It can massage quickly and pretty fiercely, but our tester's experience was pain-free. Its manual is helpful, and it comes with a USB charging cable for on-the-go refuelling. The chunky handle shakes heavily at full power, but that was our tester's only niggle, and lowering the speed is a doddle should your arm start to ache.

The MuscleGun Carbon came runner-up in our recent RW Lab test. Our tester loved its smart design and slick look that screams ‘I mean business’. It glides over skin while delivering a powerful yet relaxing massage and its lengthy, slightly curved handle helps you reach all muscles. It comes with four massage heads and a bomb-proof carry case that neatly fits everything inside. The app is fairly basic but it offers some useful tips for beginners, as does the user guide. It’s quite bulky and weighty, and it vibrates a lot at max speed, but it’s a brilliant all-rounder at a reasonable price.

Weighing just over 500 grams, the Carbon Go is considerably smaller than its predecessor, the MuscleGun Carbon, but it has everything you need in a massage gun. You get four interchangeable massage heads to target different muscle groups, it packs a considerable punch and our expert raved about how well it glided over their muscles. Tick, tick, tick. Given its tiny size, it’s the perfect travel companion – just whack it in your bag and you’re good to go. The only downside is the short handle, which makes it awkward to tackle hard-to-reach areas, but that’s a small flaw for on otherwise exceptional product.

As well as four standard massage heads, this gun comes with a heating massage head that can heat up to 131°F (55°C) for deeper muscle relaxation.

This deep tissue massage gun comes with a storage box, six massage heads, 20 speed settings and is highly rated by Amazon users. At a snip under £40, it's a bargain.

Aside from being a bit bulkier then other guns on sale, the unique handle design and degree of adjustability make this Renpho massage gun a great option for those with mobility issues – and for treating hard-to-reach places.
