Massage guns can effectively
relieve muscle fatigue.

However...

Most existing products are difficult for untrained users to use correctly and independently.

What if a massage gun could be
both powerful and easy to control?

Design Process

To understand how existing massage guns work in practice, I tested them on different parts of my body, observing the required movement paths and evaluating how easy or difficult they were to use.

Shoulder and Neck, Easy to Reach, Hard to keep Stable.

The lower back is a relative easier part if backhands.

The middle of back is tricky, hard to reach in both directions.

Based on these findings, I developed a series of ideation sketches exploring solutions for self-use difficulty and weight, including wall-mounted concepts, portable lightweight forms, extendable structures, and dual-head designs.

Before moving into 3D design, I conducted quick rough mock-up tests to evaluate how different concepts performed. The dual-head concept proved especially effective: the two handles improved control, while the dual heads allowed simultaneous massage of larger or paired muscle areas.

Rapid Prototyping & 3D Printing

To determine the optimal handle length, I 3D-printed prototypes in multiple sizes for testing.

Testing different grip designs to determine which is easiest to hold.
