Five of the best massage guns

Homedics Myti Mini Massage Gun

£119,99, homedics.co.uk

The Homedics Myti is only 14cm high and weighs just 350g, but it packs an impressive 3,000 percussions per minute (ppm) at top speed, which is the peak of its four modes. Its petite size is matched by its petite sound, as this is one quiet gun. It comes with four head attachments: ball, U-shaped, flat, targeted and even heated. The heated flat massage head warms up to 45°Cis designed to further stimulate bloodflow within the muscle tissue to accelerate recovery. It’s USB-C rechargeable for use on the go, lasts for a maximum of three hours and comes in a svelte protective case. All in all, it’s impressive stuff, though we’d like a little more exercise guidance in the instruction booklet and online. Those looking to target larger muscles in a massage session might want something a little bigger.
