We don’t know about you, but massage guns are pretty high up on our Amazon Prime Big Deals Day wishlists this year. The inevitable tech neck from never-ending phone scrolling, combined with less-than-ideal postures from WFH life, has left our muscles in knots that keep tightening by the day. Sure, it would be nice to get a weekly massage, but the reality of a regular masseuse visit sounds like a lofty (and pricey) dream. Thankfully, Amazon is here to rescue our sore necks with Prime Big Deals Days discounts on high-tech massage guns.
Viewed as an alternative to a $100+ weekly massage, the price tag of many high-end massagers suddenly doesn’t seem so crazy. In fact, they can pay for themselves in a few uses if you keep up with it. But if it’s still (understandably!) too much to fork over, now is the perfect time to pull the trigger. Below, check out the best deals on Theraguns — pretty much the crème de la crème of massagers — and some other more affordable alternatives. You will have plenty of Prime Big Deals Day budget left for beauty deals or scoring the latest cheap luggage. Grab them now and tackle your sore muscle before they are all gone.
Best For: Massages on the Go
The Hype: 4.8 out of 5 stars; 5,244 reviews on Amazon
What They’re Saying: “I have become an unpaid salesman for this product. Theragun should pay me money for the number of people I show this to and give free demos! Amazing power [for something so small] and feels so good.” —Amazon Reviewer

Best For: Fast-Acting Relief
The Hype: 4.6 out of 5 stars; 3,888 reviews on Amazon
What They’re Saying: “After just 5 minutes of using it I can literally feel my sore and tired muscles healing and feeling better. Sore shoulder and neck that hurts with every movement? Virtually gone after 5-10 minutes with the Theragun. Sore legs? Easily massaged out in 5 minutes. I also always hurt my hip flexors in Jiu Jitsu…welp, the Theragun fixed that in one night. It’s amazing!” —Amazon Reviewer

Best For: Treat Yourself Splurge
The Hype: 4.7 out of 5 stars; 2,139 reviews on Amazon
What They’re Saying: “This thing is magical. When it is on you you can’t even see it hit your skin as its rate is so high and it spends more time contracting than on the skin and your eyes perceive it floating… Our previous instrument was a thumper and there is absolutely no comparison here — Theragun is an improvement in every way (no itchiness, balanced in hand, easy to massage oneself, powerful in the right way… therapeutic).” –Amazon Reviewer

Best For: Power Without Pain
The Hype: 4.8 out of 5 stars; 1,480 reviews on Amazon
What They’re Saying: “This unit is worth every penny. I am glad they now sell the 90 watt plus. We fell in love with the 60 watt but this is over the top. I didn’t realize you can have something this strong go right to the bone and break up tension and still not kill you with pain. The cushioned heads are gentle enough you can work your face, cheeks and temples for migraines and sinus pressure, and the firmer tips destroy muscle cramps and tension on the harder muscle groups.” —Amazon Reviewer

Best For: Customer Service
The Hype: 4.6 out of 5 stars; 19,275 reviews on Amazon
What They’re Saying: “For muscle spasms I was able to learn how to use this massage gun within ten minutes effectively. It destroys the spasm when you use the deep trigger point technique…my main purpose of getting this massage gun there are different tips with detailed instructions on what they are for. The other one just did not have it. This one also comes with a 24-hour customer service number.” —Amazon Reviewer

Best For: Battery Life
The Hype: 4.7 out of 5 stars; 12,307 reviews on Amazon
What They’re Saying: “I’ve been through a few of these percussion massagers, and others have not held up: They either had poor battery life, or fell apart, or were loud. This one is as close to perfect as you can get! Battery life is really good. It operates quietly, has a nice LCD display to tell you what mode you’re in and the battery remaining, comes with a good assortment of attachment heads, and it is AMAZING! Like a lot of people I suppose, I carry a lot of stress and tension in my shoulders and upper back. For work days, having this around to just give myself a quick massage is excellent!” —Amazon Reviewer

Best For: The Whole Family (Even Pets!)
The Hype: 4.6 out of 5 stars; 24,912 reviews on Amazon
What They’re Saying: “Love this machine. Works to relieve pain and tension all over body. Easy to use and compact. It holds a charge for a long time. I purchased 4 of these for family members. The cat even loves it. We can’t get her to leave us alone when we have it out.” —Amazon Reviewer

Best For: Chronic Pain
The Hype: 4.8 out of 5 stars; 2,931 reviews on Amazon
What They’re Saying: “I was recommended for the gun by my local Physical Therapy clinician who said it is the “best of the best.” I’d recommend this for anyone with chronic pain…mine is in the lower back. I can use this alone and it really works to loosen up those tight knots. It has variable ‘speeds,’ which is essentially the level of percussion, and it is entirely within your control.” —Amazon Reviewer

Best For: Smaller Muscle Groups
The Hype: 4.6 out of 5 stars; 10,282 reviews on Amazon
What They’re Saying: “Oh my gosh, this did what two doctor’s visits, muscle relaxants and pain meds couldn’t! I am so impressed. I tweaked my neck and could hardly turn my head; acupuncture, massage, doctors and meds didn’t help. I was desperate…this did the trick. It is an absolute miracle. If you’re on the fence, get it. It is SO worth it.” —Amazon Reviewer

Best For: Using With A Friend
The Hype: 4.8 out of 5 stars; 373 reviews on Amazon
What They’re Saying: “My right shoulder has several knots all the time, pinched nerves constantly from 22yrs of physical work. I absolutely love this massager and my wife does as well. Now we are constantly fighting who will massage who.” —Amazon Reviewer
