I'm a certified personal trainer and swear by this massage gun - and it's 47% off for Amazon Prime Day
Whether you're new to the gym or have been pushing yourself extra hard lately, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a common downside to an otherwise great workout. While a massage gun isn't a miracle cure for DOMS, it can help relieve tension, aches and pains deep in the muscles. And if your pain interferes with everyday tasks, like climbing stairs or lifting your arms above your head, a little relief can go a long way. As a certified personal trainer and daily gym goer, I've relied on the Hyperice Hypervolt 2 more times than I can count. There were moments when...

Whether you're new to the gym or have been pushing yourself extra hard lately, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a common downside to an otherwise great workout. While a massage gun isn't a miracle cure for DOMS, it can help relieve tension, aches and pains deep in the muscles. And if your pain interferes with everyday tasks, like climbing stairs or lifting your arms above your head, a little relief can go a long way.
As a certified personal trainer and daily gym goer, I've relied on the Hyperice Hypervolt 2 more times than I can count. There were times when my hamstrings were so tight that the idea of sitting in an office chair for eight hours made me cringe. Even if I only use the Hypervolt 2 for a short 10 minutes, it helps me significantly to get through the day. And right now Amazon Prime Day is almost half off.

You might think that a massage gun is overkill if you're not an avid gym-goer. In fact, those who don't go to the gym or train again often benefit from percussion massage: Since their muscles are not used to strain, the risk of overloading is higher. But frequent athletes who exercise regularly also benefit from percussion therapy if they train intensively enough to build up new muscle tension.
With five different head attachments, the Hypervolt 2 is ready to tackle all types of muscles and sore spots, from your shoulders to your calves. Personally, I find the flat head to be the most versatile and least painful to use. (Keep in mind that while percussion therapy can provide relief after the fact, the pressure on your already sore muscles isn't always comfortable during application.) I've also found that the pointed head is ideal for smaller muscles or crevices, such as hip flexors.
While I like to use my Hypervolt 2 for a full 10 minutes, other users have experienced relief after just a short minute. "Using this tool for just about a minute throughout the day, as needed, was very effective in relieving the pain and allowing me to continue with my activities," noted one reviewer. Additionally, one owner who has suffered from back pain for 25 years noted that this massage gun "goes a long way in relieving muscle pain and helping to loosen muscles and tendons that are keeping my neck and back out of alignment."

The three speed settings are also handy if you have particularly sore muscles, as it allows you to work up to faster strokes that may be too intense at first. Although I find this massage gun to be a bit heavier than other options on the market, I can still comfortably hold it and move it around the muscles I'm targeting (and I have very small hands).
All in all: If you want to take a little break from constant sore muscles or just relax a little, you can't go wrong with the Hypervolt 2. As one happy customer put it, "Everything about this device said 'Relief!'" - and I couldn't agree more. The massage gun is currently a whopping 47% off on Amazon Prime Day, but the offer won't last long. So grab your copy now… your muscles will thank you.
