As people are approaching marathon season, new fitness journeys and overall active lifestyles, it's important to make time for rest and recovery.

In the current financial climate, there are many options for recovery - massages, ice baths, saunas, compression boots and more. But you may not want to fork out an extra expense on all of this and thankfully you don’t have to anymore.

Amazon’s Portable Muscle Massage Device is now £22.99, so you can prioritise your recovery from the comfort of your own home, office or gym.

The hand-held device with 10 massage heads has the ability to remove soreness, stiffness and discomfort anywhere in the body such as your back, arms, neck or even the palms of your hands.

With a quiet power motor, the noise will never go above 35dB (slightly louder than the sound of a bee flying).

The massage gun also features an LCD touch screen to adjust the massage speed, has a battery life of up to 14 days and only weighs 800g - meaning you won't feel tired from holding it while massaging.

Offering 1,100 to 3,200 hits per minute, the gun offers a number of levels such as 1 to 6 - the daily relax - all the way to 26 to 30 - to massage deep muscle.

With a 4.5 star rating on Amazon out of a total 5,415 reviews, one happy customer wrote: “This massage gun is absolutely brilliant! It’s lightweight and portable, making it easy to use at home or take on the go.”

Another wrote: “Amazing relief for shoulder pain! I’ve been struggling with shoulder pain…since we started using it, the pain has reduced massively, and my shoulder feels so much more relaxed and less tight.”

“This was a gift from my husband who has struggled with a bad back since a bad car accident. He loves this product! Would highly recommend,” said another buyer.

The battery can continuously support 15 days of operation with 20 minutes per day. (Image: Amazon)

However, some buyers weren’t as happy, with one writing: "At the lowest setting it was too much for me. I felt pummeled, not massaged."

“I found it difficult to hold with one hand. But certainly effective,” said another.

Perhaps you want to go for a more pricey massage gun to meet your sore muscle needs and the Wahl Mini Massage Gun from Argos could be for you at £90. Or if you want it to feel like you have your own personal masseuse, you could go all out and get the Homedics Pro Physio Handheld Body Massager from Currys at £179.99.
