1. A percussive massager comprising:
a housing;
a piston having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end of the piston having a bore;
a motor operatively connected to the proximal end of the piston, wherein the motor is configured to cause the piston to reciprocate at a first speed;
a drive mechanism that controls a predetermined stroke length of the piston; and
a quick-connect system comprising the distal end of the piston and a first massaging head, wherein the quick-connect system is configured to have a proximal end of the first massaging head inserted into or removed from the bore while the piston reciprocates the predetermined stroke length at the first speed.

18. A method of assembling a percussive massager, the method comprising:
operatively connecting a motor to a proximal end of a piston, wherein the motor is configured to cause the piston to reciprocate at a first speed, wherein a distal end of the piston has a bore,
providing a drive mechanism configured to control a predetermined stroke length of the piston; and
providing a quick-connect system comprising the distal end of the piston and a first massaging head, wherein a proximal end of the first massaging head is configured to be inserted into or removed from the bore while the piston reciprocates the predetermined stroke length at the first speed.
