The Magic Wand laid its claim to muscle-relaxing fame after launching as a percussion massager. It’s known for a different kind of muscle relaxation now, but your shoulders, neck, and feet don’t care about that. Still, you might want to avoid the stigmas if you accidentally leave your massager out on the couch. Some of our favorite percussion massagers are on sale just in time to help you or your sweetie unwind after a long day of hunching over your desks like a gargoyle. If you are actually looking for a “percussion massager,” (wink) we have you covered.

Hypervolt 2 Pro $279 (Was $329)

The Hypervolt 2 Pro is our pick for the best percussion massager for athletes, but you’ll still love to use it after taking your daily hot girl walk. A pressure sensor lets you know how hard you need to push into your muscles, and a 3-hour battery life means you can use it all night long. Five speeds and five attachments—fork, ball, cushion, flat, and bullet—allow you to get a little crazy with it. Connecting it to the Hyperice app (for iOS and Android) opens you up to a world of personalized massage programs, targeted regimens, and progress scores based on use.

While these percussion massagers might not make it in time for Valentine’s Day, you don’t have to reserve giving special attention to your significant other (or yourself) for only one day. Imagine the look on your honey’s face when you tell them you booked them a long, back-tingling session with Bob and Brad. Technically, you’re not lying.

Here are more percussion massagers perfect for necking and loosening shoulders:
