The Vybe Pro Percussion Massager is on sale at Amazon

Some people wake with an “Ouch!” Others hurt only after a good workout. And then there are those whose muscles stay in spasm (hello, my tribe). One day, when I was hanging at the park with pals, I couldn’t stop pressing on a nagging knot in my right shoulder. A friend dashed to his car, returned with what seemed to be a drill (and a crazed smile), and stated that I absolutely had to try it. Weird — but I said yes. This was my first time testing a massage gun.

The strange device melted every bit of tension away from my shoulder … my hips … my back. He had to pry it from my hands. I understood why he kept it in his trunk.

When I got home, I went online to buy one, but that brand cost hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Forget that. I went back to massaging my shoulder the old-fashioned way for another year.

Now I may finally be able to give that hand a break because — big news — the Vybe Premium Muscle Massage Gun is on sale at Amazon right now for $100 with on-page coupon (down from $175).

The powerful handheld massager provides tension relief, post-workout recovery or just simple relaxation, depending on what you ask it to do.

“Excellent value and solid power,” said one five-star reviewer. “This thing is amazing. I believe the hype about this type of massage gun now. I didn’t want to spend a couple of hundred dollars to learn if this tech would benefit my wife or me. It is really effective in a short period of time. I sit at a desk during the week and do projects on the weekend. This made Monday a lot less painful than I expected. My wife also likes it, and it helps with her pains. It seems well built, and I was surprised by the apparent cost-value ratio.”

There’s no need to shell out big bucks for a massage gun. Users are finding this Vybe massager to be superior to big-name players (and even older Vybe models) in quality and price. “Best money I’ve ever spent!” said one customer. “I’m 36 years old, I’ve worked in construction/tree work since I was 19. I’ve had a lot of injuries add up. This amazing device is relieving all of them. I was just using it and felt the need to spread the word. If you have a tight neck or knots in your back, YOU NEED THIS!!”

The massager reaches pretty much everywhere, so you don’t have to. And you can finally get rid of all those gadgets that are collecting dust. Lightweight and portable, this massage tool even comes with a travel case for therapy on the go. And the charge lasts for three whole hours.

The Premium has Deep Percussion and Light Pressure, and it also boasts better battery life than other models.

With deals like this, perhaps it’s my turn to be the heroic friend who arrives on the scene with a massage gun, rescuing everyone from pain.

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
