When people ask me which massage gun to buy, I frequently recommend the Theragun Mini because it’s portable (it weighs just one pound) and delivers a powerful massage for its relatively small size. In fact, I picked it as the best portable model you can buy in my roundup of the best massage guns. And while it’s 25 percent off during Therabody’s Summer Sale, retailers like Target and Best Buy are offering similar discounts.
I like the Mini because of its triangle-shaped grip and short head — it allows me to apply more pressure against my body, more so than other massage devices with gun-style handles. Plus its portability allows me to pack it in my carry-on so I can loosen up tight muscles after long flights.
