opove M3 Pro 2 Massage Gun Deep Tissue Percussion Muscle Massager for Workout, Handheld Percussive Therapy Fascia Gun for Athletes Fast Recovery 4-8 Hours Long Battery Life, Powerful, Quiet, Black

Very satisfied with purchase
This is the first percussion massage therapy product I’ve had and I am very satisfied with it so far. I am lucky that I don’t have a need to use this on a frequent basis so I waited to review until I used it several times. I chose the Opove M3 because a couple of trusted independent product reviewers had it on their top picks list for this product category. Since I never used a product like this before I wanted a good quality-value tradeoff product. My overall experience is that the reviews were accurate and the massager is a good product at a good price point. I’m an active, 65 yr old senior in good shape, in other words not an hardcore athlete type. I use the massager for post workout or overexertion soreness prevention and for relief after soreness sets in. It appears to help a lot in reducing soreness post workout – I don’t feel as bad the next day. As to relief after soreness has already set in – it offers temporary relief and feels good. My main uses are for gluts, quads, hamstrings, calf and in the hip area in the lower body. The M3 is pretty quiet and the battery lasts several uses before needing to be recharged. I like having 4 attachments for different applications, but generally use only the ball and the single pointed tip. Although it has 3 speed settings, for the most part the lowest one is sufficient for my needs. I like that it feels solid in my hands, that it has the feel of a substantial, quality tool. I wish there was an easier way to reach my back, I don’t like the technique described in the instruction, but that may be due more to my lack of flexibility more than a product issue. Overall, I’m very pleased with the product and highly recommend it.

I don’t like massages but love this
I’m at that terrible age in which all my fantasy splurge purchases are for pain relief, but at least this one is worth the money. I’ve already recommended it to two family members.I ordered it to combat general muscle fatigue from yard work, but before it came in I fell on a rock and messed up the area below my knee to the point it’s extremely stiff, almost as if in a tourniquet. I’ve been using the Opove for both the knee rehab and muscle fatigue, and it feels great! I only need the lower levels but those are very quiet. I have used this with a sleeping cat right next to me. I can hear the TV just fine.After ten minutes of gently using the bullet-shaped end piece under my knee (all the soft spots between the tibia and fibula), I can walk a lot more like a normal human being and take the stairs without too much difficulty. It feels probably 50% better or more for next so-many hours. I actually forgot I had an injury for a while last night, even though stories I read online say this is the type of injury that can take many months to heal. The Opove isn’t a “cure;” my knee locks up again later. But it’s a huge help and gives me a lot of hope and dexterity. Also, since I was dragging that leg around for two weeks, I had aching fatigue on my thigh and calf and entire other leg. That’s the kind of thing massage guns were made for, and it really helps with that.Unlike a massage, you have full control of the pressure level and can really nail the area that feels like it needs it. I have to stay away from massage clinics because the fragrances in the air from the products used previously will give me a massive migraine. And then I stopped trying to find a place altogether after that one large massage chain was caught just shuffling around employees women said assaulted them. For me, there’s no contest between using this and getting a massage. I don’t find the idea relaxing at all, even though I have a dear friend who is a massage therapist and know great ones are out there.As an off-label use, I also tried the ball-shaped end piece on my tight trigeminal nerve area on my face when I had a severe migraine. It doesn’t cure the headache of course but feels soothing during use, the same way those spikey accupressure mats can.Where I live you need a doctor’s RX before you can see a physical therapist, which adds at least one trip right when you don’t feel like making any. Having something at home beyond just stretching is very helpful. I do wish the auto shut off was more like 15 minutes instead of 10. Ten’s not quite enough.Make sure you only point this massage gun the way you would point a gun to fire. I let my attention slip and my skin got pinched when I held the unit more sideways.

I have been going to see a quality sports massage therapist who said i should try one of these in between sessions as a way of “topping up” and was very sceptical about a massage gun in general after buying a tens machine which was useless and massage foam rollers / balls which are ok but have limited effect.A couple of years ago, i put a disc out on my lumber spine and after some extensive chiro, managed to get on top of the pain and made the vow of starting to look after myself so started stretching and seeing the therapist above which is great apart from the fact that i cannot afford to go see a therapist every week so after experiencing the feeling of one of these massage guns at a session, decided to part with the money.After doing some research, picked the M3 Pro, I’ve heard about the more expensive versions (theragun etc) and this seemed like a good purchase as it wasn’t one of the cheaper ones but not in the 300 pound mark either.In terms of what you receive with the M3 Pro:The kit its self is well packaged and comes with a good number of attachments for various parts of the body including one for the achilles, a rounded more pointed attachment for direct massage, a flat rounded and a rounded piece all of which are again, well made.The machine is very well made too and this is one of the slight disadvantages as it is quite heavy but i’m guessing that’s all to do with part of it being the battery. there are 3 speed settings and a nice Led display for power indication and charging.In terms of effect, the M3 pro delivers well and i can compare this to my therapists gun which isn’t quite as powerful. I have used the more targeted piece and the achilles attachment on my feet and have to admit, it has kept the plantar problem at bay with no issues so extremely happy just for that result.The back which is an ongoing issue and I accept that it will always be there now unless I have surgery which i don’t really fancy is much improved. The rounded attachment here seems to help the best and you can get very deep into the hip (where i have issues) and into the piriformis (just below the glutes) and does genuinely feel wonderful after a session with this. The tip here is to get a partner to help to be more effective as its awkward getting to the back but can be done nonetheless.In terms of battery life, it seems to be as the instructions say and last for a few hours but is very quick to charge ready for another session.overall the experience using the M3 Pro has been great, a little heavy but i will settle for that because it seems a good quality piece of kit. If you have any sort of past injury that requires frequent maintenance from sports massage, i couldn’t recommend this any higher.I have been using this for about a few weeks now and wanted to wait to find out the upsides and downsides to using the machine.I have also used the machine for plantar fasciitis which has been an issue since starting the exercise regime so can give you a perspective from a back and foot problem.
