# Powerboost Move Percussion Massager Is A Great Traveling Companion *By James Hills — Updated February 2025* Percussion massagers are all the rage right now because of their ability to provide strong, deep tissue massages but most are too bulky to travel with. They are also too loud and frankly most are also too powerful for all but the most severe situations. That's where Sharper Image's Powerboost Move deep tissue travel percussion massager comes in ... and we dig it! **How To Buy****Who Should Buy** - **Amazon.com:** Check [current prices, availability, and read additional customer reviews](https://amzn.to/4h0MDtS) at Amazon.com - **Sharper Image:** Visit the [official product page](https://powerboost.com/) for detailed specifications, compatibility information, and direct purchasing options The Powerboost Move is the perfect companion for active men who travel frequently but don't want to sacrifice muscle recovery and pain relief while on the road. - The compact, lightweight design easily fits in your carry-on luggage, eliminating the bulk that makes traditional percussion massagers impractical for travel. - With multiple intensity levels, you can customize your recovery session whether you're dealing with post-workout soreness or stiffness from long flights. - The four specialized attachments allow you to target specific muscle groups effectively, from large muscle areas like quads and hamstrings to smaller trigger points. - Its quieter operation means you can use it in hotel rooms without disturbing neighbors, making it ideal for late-night recovery sessions. - The substantial battery life ensures you'll have reliable muscle relief throughout your entire trip without constantly needing to recharge.   I have a full-sized percussion massager at home that we frankly don't use as much as I thought we would for the reasons expressed above. It's just too heavy and bulky but this "travel sized" one is nearly perfect. Not only is the Powerboost Move easier to hold and travel with, the power - while still substantial - is much easier to use for a more gentle massage. In fact, we took this on two different cruises this fall - to Alaska on Norwegian Encore and Halifax, Nova Scotia on Norwegian Prima - having this in our cabin was a great asset on days we came back after walking around towns and especially the one day I decided to try and learn how to play pickleball. Sadly, I'm not the athlete that I thought I might be ... far from it indeed! ### Quirk Hotel: The Perfect Dog-Friendly Stay for a Guys' Trip in Richmond, Virginia Quirk Richmond is a dog friendly hotel.

That is to say that this is NOT a vibrator-style massager and so you should make sure to avoid using it directly on any delicate areas and especially parts of the body that are more skin and bones instead of muscles. This includes your neck, spine, and intimate areas. Instead, a [percussion massager](https://www.mantripping.com/stuff/every-man-needs-a-good-percussion-massager.html) like this is designed to be used on muscles and the fascia that surrounds them, potentially limiting mobility as well as causing pain. By "pounding" these areas it cane help relieve pressure that is binding things up and preventing your bones and muscles from moving in their full range. Additionally, after strong exercise sessions, lactic acid can build up in the muscles. A massage gun like this can similarly help break that down while increasing circulation so your body can release it back into your circulatory system and speed up recovery. This unit comes with four attachments - Round Ball, Cone, Fork, and Flat. We mostly used the flat tool and the round ball but all felt good quality and can be used if you need to pinpoint a specific problem area. Similarly, it also offers a variety of different massage intensity levels. The Powerboost Move massager is available for a MSRP of $89.99 at Bed, Bath and Beyond and Walmart.
