The massage gun that 'melts the pain away' is down to $34 and arrives by Christmas

'My muscles have never felt so loose and free!': Over 15,000 five-star fans praise this tension-taming gadget.

Got a kink in your neck? Those pesky muscle knots from workouts or poor posture can be tough to shake and while a professional massage is pure bliss, it's not always practical or affordable. But we've found something close: the top-selling The Raemao Massage Gun. And right now it’s on sale for just $34 on Amazon, down from $50 — that's over 40% off. And if you act fast, it will arrive by Christmas.

Ten speeds and ten massage heads? Muscle tension, be gone!

$34 at Amazon

Why is this a good deal? 💰

Not only is this highly-rated, deep-tissue massage gun a bit of an over-achiever, but at $34 it's at its lowest price ever. It's also one of the best-reviewed massage guns on Amazon, boasting a range of percussive speeds and heads. Plus it has a five-hour battery life. Do you know of any massage therapists that can give a five-hour massage? We didn't think so.

Why do I need this? 🤔

The ultimate reward at the end of a long day is to kick back and relax with the TV — but sometimes, getting R&R is easier said than done. With all of the walking, bending, reaching and even sitting we do all day (not to mention any injuries we've sustained over the years), it only makes sense that our muscles won't want to cooperate from time to time, resulting in soreness and stiffness. And when a personal masseuse is out of the question? It's the massage gun to the rescue.

Equipped with 10 speeds, this knot buster covers all the bases, from waking up muscles to giving deep-tissue massages. It even has a "Professional Mode" if it's a next-level kneading sesh he's craving. Not only that, this device comes with 10 interchangeable massage heads — each with dedicated uses — that'll really get in there, whether he's targeting his calves and back or palms and feet.

Another cool feature is the LCD touchscreen display, which he'll use to adjust the speed, as well as keep track of the battery level. Speaking of which, he can get up to five hours of use per charge, depending on the level of intensity, but it'll automatically shut off after 10 minutes of continuous use as a safety precaution. And weighing in at just one pound, it's ideal for travel — it even comes with a carrying case.

Pros 👍

"Wow. Just wow," said a satisfied reviewer. "I got this on a recommendation from a physical therapist I work with as an alternative to his professional massage gun. I was not disappointed! It is powerful, easy to use, and amazing at deep tissue massage. My muscles have never felt so loose and free!"

"It's very quiet, which is a huge plus for me." wrote this relieved shopper. "I massaged with a ball nozzle — it is the most versatile. Very relaxing! Ten speeds, different vibration frequencies. You can find the most suitable mode for yourself."

"Long battery life, easy charging," said one content customer. "This thing works great, it's simple to use, easy to read with big font and bright lights. It works like a dream too, melts the pain away and with so many options for tips, it's perfect."

"This massager works incredibly well. ... After using my whole body feels relaxed," raved another fan. "For being so strong it's super quiet."

Cons 👎

A few shoppers made note of a few improvements they had for the popular massage gun. "Wish there was a soft attachment for more bone-dense areas," one reviewer pointed out. "Even the softest included attachment is still fairly hard."

Another con for some reviewers is the carrying case which has limited compartments. "The travel/storage case is nice too, but I wish it was a little larger for all the different attachments you get," one shopper explained.

This will be just the ticket after a long day of shoveling snow — or sitting in front of the computer.
