only one much massage gun on the market. i have tried many of them, and as more emerge, the distinction between them becomes less and less obvious. This one is from Gravity, a company that makes some Our favorite weighted blanket. It’s compact and portable, and it heats up! It also has a price that doesn’t make my eyes pop that thing much.
The moving gravity is a portable massager, also known as a percussion device, that acts on your muscles to increase blood flow and release histamine. But unlike most handheld massagers, the Gravity Move includes another blood-flow-enhancing feature: heat. Massage guns with heating (and sometimes cooling!) have become more common, a trend for which I am very grateful. When you wake up with a sore back, you may want to remove the heating pad, but it helps if you have a tool to target a specific spot.

The Move is compact and weighs just 1.5 pounds, but it doesn’t trade off functionality for size. Its four intensity levels deliver a more powerful massage than some full-size devices I’ve tried. In fact, the fourth level is probably overkill. Level one is good enough for me most of the time.
It comes with four attachments, which is a good amount—you want variety, not excess. The unique air-cushion tip helps soothe sensitive areas, but my favorite is the thermal attachment. The Move’s metal tip has three heat levels, from 95 to 126 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use either with or with pulsed heat.

You can even use it without attaching it to a gun, which I have never seen before. Don’t want to leave your entire device at your desk while you try to ease the pain in your neck? You do not need to do so! A small button on the underside of the head turns on and adjusts the levels. Since it’s powered by an internal battery and not the gun’s battery, it has its own USB-C charging port, and the box comes with two charging cords.
