Is this a mistake? Just $15 for a top-rated massage gun that ‘came from the heavens’? – Yahoo Life

Some people wake up every day with an “Ouch!” Others hurt only after a good workout. And then there are those whose muscles stay in spasm (hello, my tribe). This can be an expensive and time-consuming problem to have. So I’m excited to have found this handy and incredibly affordable solution: the Vybe Flex Massage Gun, currently down to $15 for Amazon Prime Day. Amazing, but be warned: Like all good things, this deal won’t last long.

The Prime Early Access Sale is a great chance to get a head start on holiday shopping, especially with inflation concerns, notes BlackFriday.com’s shopping expert, Lisa Davis. Just remember you need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of these deals. Here’s how you can sign up for a free trial, which also gives you complimentary shipping.

I’ll never forget the day I met my first massage gun. I was chatting with friends and, distractingly, I couldn’t stop pressing on a nagging knot in my right shoulder. My friend hopped up, dashed to his car, and quickly returned with what seemed to be a drill (and a crazed smile), saying. “You have to try this!” Curious, I took it for a test drive.

The strange device melted every bit of tension away from my shoulder…my hips…my back. He eventually had to pry it from my hands. I now understood why he kept it in his trunk.

When I got home, I went online to buy one, but that brand cost several hundred dollars. Forget that. I went back to massaging my shoulder the old-fashioned way for another year.

But now everything has changed! The Vybe Flex Massage Gun is now listed at Amazon for an unheard of $14.50! This means we can all afford to have our own personal pain removal machine!

The powerful handheld massager provides tension relief, post-workout recovery or just simple relaxation, depending on what you ask it to do. With three speeds and six attachments, you can customize the exact treatment your body needs — whether you’re targeting joint pain, soft tissue, cramps, trigger points or a stubborn knot. A contoured handle also makes it easy to get a grip.

“This thing came from the heavens,” a five-star fan said. “You don’t know you need one of these bad boys until it shows up at your door. Zero setup, fast charging and long battery life are the first boxes that get checked…. But the big differentiator here is the number of different head types that come with it. It pretty much has an option for every part of your body and every type of muscle ache. I was shocked at how powerful but controlled the vibrations were. If your back, neck, quads, calves, feet, chest ever hurt — aka if you are a human — you need one of these ASAP.”

There’s no need to shell out big bucks for a massage gun. Users are finding the Vybe massager to be superior to big-name players in quality and price. “This massage gun, in particular, brings the quality and power that you would expect from a product far more expensive,” a happy customer said. “Most massage guns are loud and awkward to handle, but the Vybe Flex is surprisingly quiet and its contoured handle makes it easy to get deep into any knot or troubled area.”

The massager reaches pretty much everywhere, so you don’t have to contort. And you can finally pass along all those other gadgets that are collecting dust.

Lightweight and portable, this massage tool even comes with a travel case for therapy on the go. And the charge lasts for three whole hours.

Perhaps it’s my turn to be the heroic friend who arrives on the scene with a massage gun, rescuing everyone from pain.
