massage gun
Handheld recovery device
A massage gun is a handheld device that delivers rapid percussive pulses to muscles, used for relieving soreness, increasing blood flow, and speeding recovery after exercise.
The gun-shaped tool typically has interchangeable heads for different muscle groups: I use the massage gun on my legs after long runs.
