I married a licensed massage therapist, so...

Well, that's a totally different story! [emoji6]

Currently running this one from amazon. There was a $40 off coupon so I thought it was worth rolling the dice for $60 considering all the attachments and 6 hour battery life.

I use a combination of rollers, trigger point ball, and normatec boots. Big fan of that combination but I have heard good things about the vibroguns

I suggest a foam roller first. That will solve a lot of your problems. I have a massage gun too but I only use that when I need to pinpoint something or really try to get a deep massage. The foam roller gets lots of the strain out of you. If I had a choice of only one I would get a foam roller.

I’ve always used a foam roller and a plastic stick that’s somewhat flexible. These two options are great for my legs and back. Recently, my wife picked up a theragun (sp?) knock-off from Costco and I really like it for my neck, back and around my knees. It’s got a bajillion attachments and six speeds but I mostly just stick with one attachment for all my aches as I’m too lazy to figure out what-is-what and read the directions.

I watched some of their videos. Really helped with back problems I was having. Worth the watch.

$2700?! I'd have to start renting it out.
The R8, the Stick, foam rollers. Got the last two already & I don't see the R8 being useful to me. I'm not worried about the long muscles of the legs. I can massage or roll those fine. It's smaller, hard to get to ones around the hips that get me.

I got a generic version of a massage stick a few years ago - it was less than $10.

My plan was to use it primarily on my legs, and if I liked it get a "real" one. The cheapo version worked well enough that I haven't bothered to get a brand-name version, and I'm perfectly happy with it.

Anyone has a good recommendation for foam roller exercises? I have one in my house that I use for some PT before but perhaps I should incorporate it into my daily routines.

I have all the toys lol.
I did not find I had any benefit from a massage gun. I also don't really care for my R8. And my no name massage gun off amazon also stopped working after about 4 months.
I do have a pair of air relax legs (cheaper version of normatec) and love them after a hard ride or run.
I also have a compex stim unit. Kind of a pain to use, lots of wires, but like the air relax legs I find they are good for flushing after a hard workout.

Whatever happened to just having a cold beer in a hot bath?
