'Much better than Theragun': This tension-taming massage tool is down to $70 - Yahoo Life

[Sarah Fine]

"Life is pain" is arguably the most oft-quoted Buddhist maxim. And, yeah, we get it, spiritually speaking. But when it comes to the physical realm, there's no reason to be spending your days in a constant battle against bodily aches. Whether you're a fitness fanatic, an on-the-go parent or you suffer from the all-too-common "tech neck," the pain you carry inside your body can be difficult to live with. So don't. A massage gun might be your salvation and this popular one from Renpho is on sale for $70 (down from $110).

Why is this a good deal? ​

This is a massively popular device that shares tons of features with the Theragun, but it's just $70 right now. Compare that with the most affordable Theragun model you can buy, the Theragun Relief, which starts at $149 — that's a $79 price difference! So, investing in the Renpho Massage Gun is sure to save you from the added tension caused by spending a lot of money.

Why do I knead this? ​

The Renpho massage gun is a silent powerhouse that delivers five speeds of pulsating pressure to penetrate deep tension and pain, working to relax stiff muscles while soothing the surrounding tissue. Perfect for post-workout recovery or alleviating general aches and pains, the Renpho massage gun helps stimulate blood flow to improve range of motion, decrease tension, relax muscles and combat general body fatigue.

Functionality is key, and this massage gun has earned top marks. While it may be small, it certainly packs a punch with five customized massage heads and five speeds. Plus, weighing in at just 1.5 pounds, this gadget will feel comfy in your grip and allow for extended massage sessions without creating another pain in your arm. It even comes with a carrying case for on-the-go treatment.

What reviewers say ​

Over 29,000 reviewers gave this massage gun a perfect rating with some even saying it has the much more expensive Theragun beat.

Pros

"So much better than Theragun," one fan wrote. "We had a Theragun and the lowest setting was so rough. [We] rarely used it. The Renpho massages so much nicer and we use it all the time! The changeable knobs are wonderful to target different areas [and] the handle has a nice feel to it."

This shopper said even pros love it: "Renpho really makes some quality products and this massage gun is no exception," the reviewer said. "I've even given them to my physical therapists and chiropractor who paid nearly triple the price for their 'professional' devices. They were floored by the quality."

"I often have stiff back and shoulder muscles. This solved that problem," a third shopper shared. "The speed is adjustable, as are the attachments, to work the tension out. Totally worth the [money], and you can use your FSA/HSA to pay."

Cons

This shopper expressed one concern, though: "I wish the battery lasted a bit longer," they noted, but assured that "the power levels [are] amazing."

One final reviewer added that it would've been convenient if "there was a way to plug this into the wall and use it, in case the battery wasn't charged."
