I had purchased two sets of Terabody’s Theragun Prime massagers a year ago and they have been the number one and most important tool in our fitness toolbox. Say goodbye to your traditional roller/masssager… I wished I had bought them earlier. Now my family cannot live without them.
There are many Theragun models to choose from and the most affordable was a bundle from Costco (Teragun Prime and Wave Duo). As advertised, “This simplified smart percussive therapy device prioritizes the essential features you need while maintaining the power and effectiveness of Theragun’s deep muscle treatment. Ease discomfort, soothe tightness and tension, and recover faster in seconds.“
We had previously purchased the Homedics Pro Percussion Massager from Costco but the device broke after only 3 months of usage… it was about half the price but I guess you get what you paid for 🙁
We decided to purchase two Theragun models after one month of initial usage. And I’m glad we did as my kids used them 24/7 – WFH (work-from-home) relief and weight lifting home gym usage…
Theragun Percussive Therapy is massage reinvented™. Dr. Jason Wersland created percussive therapy to increase blood flow and decrease tension deep within the muscle, using a scientifically-calibrated combination of speed and depth to treat your muscles comfortably by overriding the pain signals sent to the brain.
Theragun Percussive Therapy works because each device offers a unique combination of these:
- Amplitude (depth) – 16 mm amplitude to treat deep within the muscle to release tension
- Frequency (speed) – 2400 percussion per minute (40 per second) speed to override the pain signals to your brain, making the treatment experience more comfortable than manual muscle therapy
- Torque (no-stall force) – additional 60 pounds of applied pressure (without stalling) so you can most effectively treat the areas that need it
Once you go Theragun, you will never go back 🙂
The Therabody app integrates with Apple Health and Google Fit and learns from your behaviors to suggest guided routines that can be sent to your device via Bluetooth®.
Four closed-cell foam attachments (made with non-porous closed-cell foam that can be easily wiped clean for a more hygienic experience) comes with each Theragun model including:
- Dampener (used mostly for tender or bony areas – also perfect for overall use). 3/10 impact level.
- Standard Ball (perfect for overall use on large and small muscle groups). 5/10 impact level.
- Thumb (used mostly for trigger points and the lower back). 7/10 impact level.
- Cone (used mostly for pinpoint muscle treatment, including the hands and feet). 10/10 impact level.
Additional attachments can be purchased separately on Therabody online.
For runners, you can recover faster and experience a fuller, looser stride with a more effective deep muscle treatment and routines designed to help runners at every level go a little further than yesterday. See Theragun runner’s routine here.
Working from home? How do you handle stress, tension, and fatigue? Here’s how an at-home wellness routine with the Theragun can change the way you feel daily – from your first video call to your last.
We are still learning all the different ways to use the Theragun massager or the Wave Duo massager (contoured to the back, spine, and neck) for various ailments or for recovery from strenuous activities. Fortunately, Therabody has a large collection of videos and classes available (most are free) to help with the precise routines and attachments needed to ease the discomfort, soothe the tightness or tension, and recover faster…
Without a doubt, Theragun is our #1 fitness device recommendation for 2021 and beyond! You can purchase the latest models of Theragun online or from Amazon.
