Yes, massage guns are FSA/HSA eligible if they are used for medical or therapeutic purposes.
According to IRS Code Section 213(d) and SIGIS guidelines, massage guns that alleviate muscle pain, improve circulation, or aid in post-injury recovery can qualify for reimbursement. These products must primarily serve a medical or therapeutic purpose, such as to relieve muscle pain, stiffness, or soreness rather than general wellness or relaxation.
How to Purchase a Massage Gun With an FSA/HSA
You can purchase FSA/HSA eligible massage guns on buyFSA and pay directly with your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) card.
