It looks and sounds like a power tool, can be found at gyms and on the bench at NBA games, and may just be the best way to supercharge your warmups, workouts, and recovery. Meet the massage gun — a relatively new tool that ripples through muscles to increase blood flow and loosen tense, tight areas.

You can use massage guns before and after workouts, like you would foam rollers, to help you accelerate your gains and bounce back faster. Or just pull it out when you're feeling tense for some release on a long workday.
