The Hydragun is a percussive massage therapy device designed for sports recovery – to provide speedy and effective muscle pain relief for high-performance athletes and people working from home.
The Hydragun comes in a case for carrying it around to the gym or office.
Massage guns have become very popular lately with athletes engaging in sports and fitness activities; as well as people working from home, using home furniture not suited for extended hours of work – resulting in poor postures, back & shoulder aches and carpal tunnel syndrome in the hands.
Discount Code
If you decide to purchase the Hydragun, you can use my discount code “TECH4TEA50” to get S$50 off the S$399 price of the massage gun.
The code is valid for the next two weeks until 17 October for the first 20 redemptions.
* I don’t get any commissions from your purchases using my discount code.
So a good massage gun has become a must-have for working adults.
The Hydragun is a Singapore-designed, China-manufactured massage gun targeting sports enthusiasts from all walks of life.
Starting from the packaging and the design and build, you can tell the company is serious about making a tool that provides effective healing and recovery for sports injuries or work sores and aches – unlike many no-brand OEM products on the bandwagon that was hastily thrown into a box with minimal documentation and sold for a song.
The S$399 Hydragun alongside a S$50 OEM massage gun from a friend who bought it online. The latter was heavy and unbalanced, had no return policy or warranty and stopped working after two months even though it was hardly used. The Hydragun comes with a 30-day “No Questions Asked” Return Policy and an 18 month-warranty.
In the box, the Hydragun comprises the main vibrating therapy massager (the big gun), six head attachments (four regular, two with stainless steel heads), one charger, one manual, and a robust zippered case to easily carry it all to the gym.
