The Massage Gun

Percussive therapy. The recovery secret of elite athletes, now yours — a cordless jackhammer that pummels your fascia into submission and melts away the tension of a hard day at the desk you also bought to fix your back.

It sounds like a distant lawnmower and feels, on the one knot you can actually reach, genuinely incredible for about forty seconds. Then you realise every part that hurts is on your back, behind you, unreachable. It lives in its little foam case, charged to 70%, deployed twice a month against a shoulder that was fine anyway.

An excellent way to vibrate a single reachable muscle while the real problem looks on. Buy it for the case. You'll end up keeping cufflinks in it.
