Are there any massage guns made in USA<\/strong>? We know all about the hype of massage guns and how they are the trendy thing in the fitness recovery world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We know of Theragun and Hypervolt<\/a> and how famous they have become because of all the endorsement from famous sports personalities and celebrities. The NBA guys talk so much about how they love their Hypervolts and we don\u2019t seem to get a rest from the barrage of Theragun ads all over our social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But are any of these made in the USA?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n This post will show our findings and list USA brands you can support. We\u2019ll also answer some frequently asked questions about the origins of the 2 popular brands. Come along!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The simple answer is no – at least not that we know of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We know that products, especially electronic devices made locally in the USA, have their own advantages and disadvantages. Advantages are certainly for the buyer from the USA – you get a product you are sure of – but are sort of disadvantage to the brands that have to deal with the logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Making devices in the USA is not cheap. The FTC<\/a> will only recognize a USA-made product if everything happens in the USA (manufacturing, assembly, etc.). As it turns out, that is a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To cut a long story short, it\u2019s easier to manufacture such devices outside the USA \u2013 especially for the brands. That means there aren\u2019t any massage guns we know of that are made in the USA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We didn\u2019t just make this conclusion based on our knowledge. We had to thoroughly research, including asking about some of the best massage gun brands<\/a> questions directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, most massage guns are manufactured and, most of the time, assembled overseas \u2013 mainly in China. But there is a reason why \u2013 cost-effectiveness (as already seen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Related:<\/strong> Discover the actual difference between cheap and expensive massage guns in this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a patriotic American, it\u2019s a bummer not to have a USA-made massage gun. However, that shouldn\u2019t be a big problem if you are a responsible consumer of massage guns. You can support local brands<\/strong> that sell massage guns \u2013 they don\u2019t necessarily manufacture them but market and sell them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of these brands may be US established businesses<\/strong> with foreign shareholders, but some are brands and businesses run by hardworking American entrepreneurs. They hire American employees and provide customer support from the USA. They also pay their Taxes to Uncle Sam, as all good US citizens do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll do well to show your patriotic spirit by supporting these brands. You could start your own American-based massage gun manufacturing company, but until you do, these brands should be your go-to when you need a massage gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These brands have American roots and a real physical presence in the US, which means you will still get a good and sure product<\/strong> and not have to worry about the device not getting to you on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have listed some of them in our post and some of their best devices here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another reason to support these brands is that most massage gun sellers are Chinese (with no names). They sell mostly via Amazon, which, although an American company<\/strong>, allows way too many non-American products to enter the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hundreds of such brands don\u2019t have a US presence but still sell directly to American customers, not only via Amazon but also eBay. Instead of buying something you\u2019re not sure will get to you, why not support these small yet ambitious brands that need it to thrive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ekrin was founded in 2019 by Dan Kozak and Elise Williams<\/a>, college mates who wanted to give back to the community their fitness knowledge. They figured massage guns would be the proper way to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They are a wonderful brand that we have had the privilege to know and interact with. They have a small team of dedicated and friendly people<\/strong>. Their obsession is to make top-quality percussion therapy devices all the time \u2013 we can attest to that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n They have so far been able to produce five percussion devices. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is one of the best and most powerful mini massage guns<\/a> that we have laid our hands on. It has impressive performance features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We love to use it as our mark for quality when buying similar devices. It has 35lbs of stall force<\/strong> and a 10mm amplitude<\/strong>, which means it can provide a deep and intensive massage. It\u2019s on par with Theragun\u2019s Mini but has better accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can purchase it directly at ekrin.com<\/a>. Use coupon code MGA20<\/span><\/strong> to get 20% off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our full review of Ekrin Bantam \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Designed as an introductory massage gun for newcomers, it fills a gap in Ekrin\u2019s lineup by offering a more affordable and user-friendly option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regarding specs, it ticks all the boxes for surface-level massages and deeper percussions. With a stall force of around 35 lbs<\/strong>, a 12mm stroke length<\/strong>, and percussions ranging from 2000 to 3200 rpm<\/strong>, the 365 impresses. Considering its competitive price point, It stands out in our tests<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the 365 isn\u2019t all about power; it\u2019s also about style and comfort. It boasts the superb ergonomics of other Ekrin devices, paired with a lightweight design and premium feel. It\u2019s particularly tailored for women<\/a> and those with smaller hands and has features like USB-C charging and a unique pressure sensor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In conclusion: the Ekrin 365 is a smart buy<\/a>. Don’t forget to apply the MGA20<\/span><\/strong> coupon for a 20% discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For an in-depth analysis, don’t miss our comprehensive Ekrin 365 review \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
