Let's face it, we could all use a good massage from time to time. Whether you're constantly on your feet or sit at a desk most of the day, I don't know a single person, myself included, who doesn't experience muscle tension.
Although I am loyal to my ultra-talented RMT, I can't always find the time to make an appointment. And as much as I appreciate my partner squeezing my tense traps every now and then, sometimes it just doesn't cut it. So I finally caved and bought the RENPHO Deep Tissue Muscle Massage Gun which is currently on sale for $109.99 (originally $149.99).
First of all, I love this brand. If you haven't tried any of their products, I'd also recommend their heated eye massager ($79.99). It'll do wonders if you tend to get headaches from staring at a screen all day.
Now, what initially sold me on the massage gun was the fact that it didn't cost nearly as much as more expensive models — because yes, I am on a budget!
Next was the assortment of attachments it comes with.
It has a total of six heads in varying shapes and hardness, so you can massage different muscle groups effectively. I switch between all of them regularly, depending on how deep a certain knot I'm working on is. It's also rechargeable and cordless, so you won't get tangled up in any cables while you use it.
If you don't have work benefits to help ease the expense of seeing an RMT, this thing will change your life. Even if you do, having it around to use in between RMT appointments is truly a godsend.
