Why Trust Us

What sets ErgoPulse apart

We start with how you actually use a massage gun—short, repeatable routines—and test devices against those realities. Our guidance is grounded in standardized measurements: decibels (noise), handle circumference and angle (grip and reach), stall resistance (pressure tolerance), battery endurance (real session use), weight and balance, and cadence smoothness (feel).

Independence and transparency

Our editors do not accept compensation for positive coverage. Affiliate links may earn us a commission at no cost to you, but brands cannot buy placement or influence scores. When products are provided as samples, we disclose that fact and hold them to the same test protocols as retail units.

Persona‑based expertise

Each recommendation is vetted through our four everyday personas—Deskworker, Runner, Lifter, Traveler—so you don’t just get a “best overall,” you get the best fit for your hand size, environment, and goals. We publish why a device wins for a persona and where it falls short, so you can make a confident tradeoff.

Evidence you can verify

We explain our methods, define each metric, and share the exact scenarios we test (distance for noise, how we measure reach, how we calculate stall resistance). That way, you can replicate or pressure‑test our conclusions and see whether a device matches your needs.
