What it’s for

The foam roller does the big muscles; this does the spots a roller cannot reach, in two minutes, sitting on the sofa. The one 'recovery' gadget that gets used every week.

What to check in the listing

Lowest speed, the round head, and let the gun's own weight do the work; pushing harder does not help. Thirty seconds to two minutes per muscle, and keep it off bone, the front of the neck, and anywhere you have just injected. If a spot is bruised, wait for the bruise to go.

Space neededNoneSpace needed is how much floor it takes to use: none at all, a mat's worth, a corner that stays clear, or a room.

PriceMid-rangePrice tier is the rough position within its category, not a live price: budget is the cheapest sensible option, premium costs more for a reason the page explains.
