About Body Mends

Updated on

Body Mends is an independent buying guide to massage guns. We help you choose one that suits your hands, your home and how much you want to spend.

Our readers are often buying their first massage gun, or a gift for someone else. So we skip the gym slang and explain terms like amplitude, stall force and heated heads in plain words.

What we cover

We compare full-size, mini and heated massage guns from Therabody, Hyperice, RENPHO, Bob and Brad and other brands. We also write side-by-side matchups, single-model reviews and basics like how a massage gun works.

How we pick

We read the specs, the maker's details and what buyers often say after months of use. Then we weigh weight, strength, noise, battery, heads and size against what each guide's reader needs.

Our How we research page explains each step.

What we don't do

We don't make or sell massage guns, and no brand pays to be ranked. We aren't affiliated with Therabody, Hyperice, RENPHO, Bob and Brad or any other maker.

We don't claim to have tested every gun ourselves. When we pick one, we tell you why, based on its specs, its features and buyer feedback.

We don't give medical advice. A massage gun is a gadget, and anyone with a health condition should ask a doctor before using one.

How the site earns money

Some links go to stores like Amazon. If you buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

That never changes which guns we pick. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
