During the sale, the discounted massage equipment is gathered on this page: rollers, balls, guns, electrical devices, gels and oils. Simple tools to take care of your muscles between workouts, without leaving your living room.
Roller, ball or gun: three tools, three uses
The roller works on the larger areas: calves, thighs, glutes. You lie on it and roll slowly, controlling the pressure with your arms. The ball targets smaller areas, like the arch of your foot or the tops of your shoulders after a trip with bag.
The massage gun delivers quick percussion and requires less effort. It appeals to runners who want a quick routine after a shower. The gels and oils, on the other hand, make a classic manual massage easier.
A simple routine after running
No need to spend an hour. Just a few minutes per muscle group is enough: calves, hamstrings, quadriceps, then glutes. Roll slowly, breathe, and pause briefly on sensitive spots without looking for pain. Avoid massaging an injured or sore area at rest: in this case, seek advice from a healthcare professional.
Trigger Point, Merrithew, InnovaGoods: the brands available
Trigger Point became known for its hollow rollers with textured surfaces, mimicking finger work on the muscle. Merrithew, a Toronto company that originated the STOTT PILATES method, offers rollers and small accessories from the world of Pilates.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I find a cheap massage gun?
On this page, filter by type “massage gun”. Compare the number of attachments included and the battery life, two criteria that matter in daily use. Other models sometimes come through the fitness clearance.
Cheap massage roller: hard or soft?
A soft roller is suitable for beginners or sensitive areas. A firm or textured roller works deeper, but requires a bit of getting used to. The other recovery tools are on the equipment page.
Should you massage before or after running?
Both can be done. Before, a few quick strokes wake up the muscles. After, slower strokes help to release tension. For a troublesome joint, also check the protection and care page.
Does a massage device replace a physiotherapist?
No. It helps with comfort and relaxation daily, but does not treat an injury. If pain persists, consult a professional. The small care accessories are also in the good deals on equipment.
How long should you keep a massage roller?
As long as the foam doesn’t compress and the surface remains intact. A hollow roller made of rigid plastic lasts for a long time. Rinse it with soapy water from time to time, and store it out of the sun. New models are also arriving in the new equipment.
