Handheld massagers fit almost every niche in life. Some of the biggest names in competitive sports and athletics use them to work out sore muscles. Other people might use them to take care of age-related issues like arthritis. Many people who suffer headaches have even found relief from these lightweight wonders.

However, choosing the right model requires careful examination of their benefits. Let’s take a look at the top five models of handheld massagers to own:

1. Hyperice Hypervolt
The Hypervolt instantly conjures up images of electricity. And it makes true on that promise by running for up to 3 hours on a single charge. This massager can also charge back up in almost no time at all. The battery life is even more impressive when we consider that it delivers almost as much stall force as the G3PRO. As such it provides a solid alternative to the G3PRO for people primarily using the massager after workouts.

2. Sportneer Percussive Massage Gun
Sportneer’s offering is a solid option for travel as well. Not because it’s USB-based, but due to just how much power it can hold. The massager’s battery should last for about six hours of continual use. And it’ll even turn itself off after ten minutes to help preserve the battery life. It’s also notable for the sheer amount of versatility it can provide. The massager comes with six massage heads that can work with five different speed settings.

3. Therabody TheraGun G3PRO
The G3PRO is one of the best options for people who want to focus on power. For example, it’s especially useful for people who have a lot of muscle mass. Even the strongest bodybuilder will be able to feel the benefits of the G3PRO after a good workout. This device can deliver up to sixty pounds of force while only weighing about 3 pounds. However, this level of power is also its biggest drawback. It will only run for a little over an hour before running through its battery. And the noise created by the massager’s powerful motor might be too loud for some people’s comfort.

4. RecoverFun Mini Massage Gun
This mini massager is especially good for arthritis or weaker hands due to a 1.1 pound form factor. As one might expect, it’s not going to deliver as much force with that light design. However, it has another advantage thanks to a usb-based charging system. This makes it an ideal choice for travel. Users can charge the massager from the same power banks or batteries they use to recharge their phone. And the compact design also makes it easy to bring along in even the smallest luggage.

5. VYBE Percussion Massage Gun
The VYBE provides a relatively deep massage. However, at about 30 pounds of stall force it might not be the best tool for workout recovery if you have a significant amount of muscle. But people with a little less mass should find this massager more than meets their needs. The battery life is also fairly impressive. Users can enjoy about three hours of use before it will require a new charge. What’s more, it even includes two rechargeable batteries. If users are careful to charge one battery while using the other it will ensure almost seamless use. What’s more, it’s one of the more cost-effective options.
