I went to get a haircut the other day and there was a new barber at Tops Off. His name was Carlos and he had just recently moved to WV from North Dakota. He did a great job as you can see from this photo:
The thing that stood out to me the most was the fact that he finished the job by pulling out his percussion massage gun and using it on my shoulders/neck. I think that is something only a seasoned barber would think of doing. It felt freaking amazing! This immediately reignited my desire to have a massage gun of my own.
The following day a college track and field athlete came into my work to ship a massage gun to his friend in Ireland. I asked him if he liked the massager and he highly recommended it. The one he purchased was called a Triggerpoint Impact and cost him $200. I didn’t rush to go get that one although it was available at a local store, instead I decided to weigh my options. I did however take the fact that he had positive things to say about a massage gun into consideration.
I had previously wanted a Theragun when I first discovered percussion massagers a few years back. That was the first massage gun that I had ever seen at the time. I never purchased one considering they were charging several hundred dollars.
Present day, I have since learned that Therabody is charging way to much for a product that isn’t worth the money. I’m glad I never bought a Theragun. There are so many other percussion massage guns on the market now. Many of which are better build and have more features at a significantly lower cost.
Today I watched a “Best Massage Guns of 2020” YouTube video from a former Ninja Warrior competitor. That video can be found below:
In that video over a dozen different types of massage guns are compared. The best bang for the buck turned out to be the Medcursor Mini.
The video breaks down all of the different options by several categories. I found stall force, power levels, noise levels, features, and price to be the most important. All of which the Medcursor Mini excels in.
If you’re curious about this type of wellness equipment, then I recommend you watch the full video. There are lots of charts and actual usage shown within.
I will also be posting a review of my Medcursor Mini after I have had time to familiarize myself with it. I’m supposed to receive it in the mail by Wednesday next week.
The Medcursor Mini is currently on sale on Amazon for only $65. Link to purchase.
I got super lucky to find it for this price. On top of that I had a $50 Amazon gift card that I’ve been saving and was surprised to find out that my old Amazon credit card that I no longer use also had $25 of rewards points left on it. This means I was able to order the Medcursor Mini for FREE!
Talk about being fortunate, I’m beyond blessed. Getting the Medcursor Mini for free is a great birthday gift, my birthday is tomorrow. I will be 28 on October 9th. I am so hyped to receive this bad boy in the mail so that I can start using it on myself. My back and legs both are often sore from working so much and being on my feet 8+ hrs a day. @flowerbaby and I will be using it on each other too I’m sure.
Thanks for checking out my blog.
I hope that you learned something new today. Be sure to stay tuned and look out for my future in depth review of this Medcursor Mini. Should be dropping within the next few weeks.
This is one of the most viewed posts in PeakD today. I am wondering do you share the link anywhere else besides Twitter?
Wow, is it really? How are you checking?
I shared on Twitter and my Facebook, that’s all.
Normally I never share on Facebook, I get very little interaction on there. I guess more people are checking than I thought. Maybe should share there more often.
Yea! I knew it! Seems like your Facebook audience gave you a traffic boost.
PeakD recently added this feature. It’s a good way to find content that’s under-rewarded and draws an audience. Check it out at: https://peakd.com/views
Your post is #2 right now.
Well that's pretty awesome to see.
I was aware they added that update, but never saw a view count on any of my posts since none of my blogs had passed the minimum threshold.
I guess I just haven't been checking the most viewed posts page. Thanks for showing me that screenshot!
I’ll have to post on my FB more often.
No problem! Keep creating great content like this. Maybe some of your FB fans will get curious and sign up for PeakD/Hive account.
What a good job your hairdresser did, the massage is an extra service and serves to retain customers, today, where there is a lot of competition, these extra services make the difference
What a joy that you have been able to access your massager for free, congratulations. have a wonderful nighthello dear friend @daltono good night
I really like Carlos, he was a cool dude and cared for his customer.
Thanks my friend!
Happy Birthday!! Incredible article. The look of ecstasy on the wiener dogs face sells me. I might try to pick up one of those now myself. Thank you
Thanks! You'd probably love one of these things.
Makes it to where you can actually massage yourself if you don't feel like paying to get one from a stranger.
My wife got something similar, and swears by it... great for shoulder pain (she's had a couple of rotator cuff surgeries in the past) and sore muscles in general. I have a feeling you'll really enjoy having this!
I’m think you’re correct, this will be my new go to for self-care.
It’s super affordable. I was planning on dropping a few hundred dollars. So glad I didn’t have to. If I end up loving this one maybe you should get one too.

That’s quite the idea 🤔
