Massage gun. I thought they were an over hyped trinket until I tried one. Relaxed a muscle that hadn't relaxed in years.
If you're using it purely to relax muscles, then it is amazing. All the other claims about them seem to be BS though.
Seconding the massage gun, I had terrible muscle pain around my knee for over a year and after using one it went. I nearly fell off the bed as there wasn't any pain. I'm now trying to loosen up the ligament/tendon around the knee and in my hip as it's still tight....It's really nice to be able to go on a long walk and not be in pain or having to use sticks when going downhill
I know I may sound like an Amazon review, but the difference is amazing, and also reassuring as I thought I would be heading over hill into pain and general decrepitude....I'm also using it to loosen up the bf's knotty shoulders and bad back
My issue was also knee pain. I could never get my lower quads to relax. Massage gun got them on the first use. They're also great for trips where you'll be walking a lot.
