An essential to get rid of any post-training muscle pain
Whether it's after training in the gym or a post-match strain, there's nothing worse than aches and pains stopping you from doing what you love. This is where massage guns become an essential piece of kit to keep you moving.
Massage guns have evolved to become the must-have gadget for sports recovery and there’s a wide selection of options to choose from. From ones with advanced LCD screens to travel-size minis – perfect for away games – there's an option out there to suit everyone.
What is a massage gun and why should use one?
If you’ve never used a massage gun before, fear not because they couldn't be simpler to operate. They are handheld machines that help relieve muscle pain and tension and are an excellent tool for giving you an effective muscle massage, and pain relief using vibration therapy.
Most devices come with multiple attachments, specifically designed to be used on different parts of the body. There will usually be more than the one-speed setting, so you can truly personalise your experience.
So, whether it’s an overstretched leg from a tackle you didn’t quite make, or a shoulder barge you were on the receiving end for, GOAL has you covered. Here are all the best massage guns you can buy right now.
