All I’ve got to say is just wow and thank you to theragun. I am just in low with this portable and tiny massage gun. I own a different brand but mine is bulky/heavy and comes with way too many prices that I don’t know what to do with. When I first opened up the theragun I was so impressed with how tiny and comfortable it felt in my arm. Then I was shocked by how powerful this tiny little gun is. Then the company goes above and beyond to make sure everyone who gets one knows exactly what to do with it. I was surprised that there is an app that helps you with guided routines or massages so you know exactly what you’re doing. When you switch off attachments the gun recognizes what you put on and give you guided plans to help you get the most out of each attachment.

I finally knew exactly what to do with each attachment. Plus I’m this case with there being only 4 attachments I would say less is more. I am definitely getting more out of this massager then the one I’ve opened for years. Another great thing is that it has a sensor that remember you and your routine. So when my husband uses it. The machine recognizes what we prefer. Just 100 out of 10! Definitely in love this theragun and still surprised by how tiny and compact it is. Thank you theragun

Great all round useful massage gun.

There seem to be quite a few different Theragun products on the market now and I believe this one is the middle of the road one. To be honest I think this is a pretty perfect one to have whether you just need to use it for gentle massage and relaxation or for deep tissue massage after playing sports / workouts. The item is well made and very good quality. It comes with 4 different attachment heads and is small enough to hold in one hand easily. If you just press lightly you will get a gentle massage but pressing down harder will give you a much deeper muscle massage. The app is pretty handy too as it gives you tutorials on how to use the item on different areas of your body. There is also a relaxation feature on the app where you hold the massage gun and breathe in ... MoreThere seem to be quite a few different Theragun products on the market now and I believe this one is the middle of the road one.

I have only used that once but it seemed a nice feature so I will probably try it again. I find it great to use before and after gym workouts.

I have owned and used many massage devices, but never something this compact and targeted at true percussion recovery, and I have to say I was very impressed! It is not hard to see why Theragun is such a household name in the percussion therapy space. The Sense is compact, lightweight, looks great, comes with several attachments that are easy to swap out, depending on what you are using the gun for, and offers a very fast speed at up to 2400 percussions per minute.In terms of operation, there is an on-screen display and controls that let you easily select from 5 preset therapy sessions, as well as a quick start setting that lets you set your own speed and do your own routine. It would be nice if you could customize these 5 preset routines to be those which you use most often, but I couldn’t find a way to adjust them from the standards that are loaded on. Thankfully, it isn’t a big deal given the quick start mode really lets you set and do whatever you feel like depending on what type of therapy you are interested in. Beyond this however, you will need to use the Therabody app, as the vast majority of guided routines (including the meditation routines) are all located in the app.In terms of the app, it is well laid out, and easy to get up and running. You can connect your health accounts and then get running with a pretty wide variety of percussion and mediation routines for different warm-up, recovery, and mindfulness sessions. Some of these routines, particularly the mindfulness focused ones, also include soundscapes and music called “TheraMind” which can play over your phone, or as is recommended, headphones. There are routines for different types of workouts (like swimming, strength training, cycling, yoga, etc.), although of the ones I have tried, many do end up feeling fairly similar as they often target similar muscles with similar motions. You tend to use the dampener attachment for many routines, and the other attachments can be swapped in for more specific use cases. Also with the app routines, you do get real-time feedback on ensuring the pressure you are applying is optimal, as well as ensuring the correct speed of the percussion is set correctly for the relevant exercise.Like all Theraguns, the triangle grip makes it really easy to do all the exercises by yourself, with the requisite pressure being able to easily apply at almost any angle. It is very intuitive, and with the app guides and tutorials, you can easily get up and running in no time. I used the percussion therapy routines before and after several workouts, and did absolutely notice a positive impact, particularly with the lower-body routines. This being said, I personally found the percussion much less pleasant and effective for the upper body. It is great for legs and back, and not bad for arms and neck (although a little strange feeling at times), but for chest and abs it did feel a bit uncomfortable, at least for me. Your mileage may vary, depending on your body and how deep your muscle tissue is, as well as how much you enjoy percussion therapy. This being said, overall, as a percussion massager, the Theragun sense is a great all-arounder, with lots of features and options in a compact form. It might not be the best choice for professional athletes with much more specific needs, but it was great for me and honestly I think it would work great for 95% of folks as long as you like percussion routines.For the mindfulness sessions and “sensing” part of the Theragun Sense, I was a bit less impressed. While not bad by any means, I don’t know how much I will end up using the Sense for mindfulness in the long-run. To do most of the exercises, you should hold the gun with a two-handed grip close to your chest, while your index finger covers the heart rate biometric sensor. You then follow the routines while music plays, and haptics throughout the gun provide cues for different breathing rates. For example, for box breathing, you get different vibration and sound cues to guide you through each phase, while the biometric sensor measures your heart rate. You also get on-screen cues in the app which you can use as well. The haptics themselves feel great, and overall the breathing routines are very effective still. Where I wonder how useful I will find this in the long-run comes down to the heart rate monitor, and general style of the mindfulness sessions. For the heart rate monitor, I found it difficult to get consistent readings. I found if I applied light pressure like the app recommended, it wouldn’t detect my heart rate, and if I applied more pressure, it would detect it more frequently (although not always), but the device would become less comfortable to hold for a full routine. Likewise, for things like sleep breathing or quick box breathing, I found the Theragun haptics didn’t add much to the experience beyond cuing when I should breathe. The TheraMind soundscapes I liked a lot, but I found myself paying too much attention to the app and haptics of the Theragun, rather than really letting my mind go during the mindfulness sessions. It simply feels a bit strange holding a percussion gun to your chest while doing breathing exercises designed to make you ease up physically and mentally. I don’t want to give the impression it is a bad experience, just that ultimately, your mileage may vary depending on how much you think the haptics help your experience. For myself, as someone who does a fair amount of meditation and breathing, I found needing to hold the gun while doing these didn’t add much to my experience, and ultimately felt unnecessary for a quality experience. That being said, it can be nice to have for beginners getting started with mindfulness sessions, and the TheraMind soundscapes were very good.On the whole, I like my Theragun Sense as another recovery and well-being companion to use in my arsenal. I think it still works better as a percussion device than a mindfulness aid, but it is nice to see Theragun prioritizing both physical and mental wellness with one device, and perhaps as new routines are added to the app, I will find the mindfulness sessions more useful, particularly as they combine mindfulness with percussion therapy. I wish the heart rate sensor worked better, but honestly, it didn’t matter too much to me. If you have any fitness tracker that measure heart rate, that will work much better overall for tracking your vitals during the TheraMind sessions. But if you are looking for a single device for physical and mental recovery, in a nice package, with plenty of features on hand, then the Theragun Sense is a good place to start.

[Rewarded Review] Great massager, with some key mind-body features

The Theragun Sense combines the key features of a typical massage therapy Theragun with a few key wellness features that help add mind/body therapy to the Theragun experience. The main additions to the typical gun are a heartrate sensor (accessible in the handle) and haptic responses that help guide the user through breathing and heartrate exercises. In short, this provides an extra dimension for the Theragun, though in my experience it seems like the development of the mind/body experience is still lagging behind Therabody’s pre-made routines and recovery settings using the main percussive massage features. However, the massage features are likely still the main attraction for anyone looking at the Theragun sense, so the user experience with this machine is still ... MoreThe Theragun Sense combines the key features of a typical massage therapy Theragun with a few key wellness features that help add mind/body therapy to the Theragun experience.

However, the massage features are likely still the main attraction for anyone looking at the Theragun sense, so the user experience with this machine is still very strong. Whether one really *needs* to get this model of the Theragun is the question one might want to think about as they compare different choices.In short: as a massager alone, a great tool. Very effective, easy to use, good app integration. 5/5As a mind-body tool: limited, but effective. App absolutely necessary to understand how to use the tool and get the most out of it. The app does work really well. Currently limited, though, with how much one can do in this particular area. 3.5/5First off, I was surprised by how much I liked the massager itself. I thought this might help with some nagging problems I’ve had in my hamstrings and ankles, but I have been impressed by how much it seems to loosen up my muscles with relatively short bursts of attention. Since using it, I’ve had much less agitation in my hamstring that has been at times very painful and tight for the past two months. Now, it’s possible that a few other factors have been a part of this result (I was forced to take a few more rest days than usual while I was testing the device), but I would say I could immediately feel some relief straight out of the box. I’ve experimented with using some of the guided post-run recovery routines that the app supports, and generally I think these are helpful to me. I have also tried some of the pre-sleep routines and they seem as well to have helped calm me and contribute to better sleep. Again, this could be a placebo effect or even just a psychological-mindset related result. BUT, in the limited testing I’ve done, I’ve been keen on the effect of the massage.That said, there are some massage routines or massage spots that are difficult to do for one reason or another—the geometry/proportions of my arms and legs for example, may make some of these routines harder to do correctly than others. As well, sometimes it seems like the settings are directing one to roll the massager over bony body areas or especially unforgiving areas. This leads to a rather uncomfortable skipping feeling on the body rather than percussive pressure. The shin routine, for example, seems tricky to get in the sweet spot. I also have some trouble with the neck placements.The app makes all of this work better, I have to admit. I didn’t really want to have to use the app, sign in, create an account, and be tied to my phone just to use a device. I really feel uncomfortable with the collection of biometric data that using the app could allow. However, I have to say that the app makes it much easier to understand how to do some of the routines. It explains what to do for each activity with a video, timed guidance, and even live feedback showing the pressure you are applying. It will also set the speed and control the Theragun, so if you are supposed to change the head or stop and stretch, it will turn off the gun and wait for you to do the next steps, and it sets the speed properly for each part of the routine. This takes a lot of guesswork out of the device, and it really is pretty slick. These features all make it much easier to do the routines properly, with the right attachments, timing, and placements. There are routines also pre-loaded onto the gun alone, but it’s very difficult to look at the screen of the Theragun and do the routines as listed because usually the placement on the body means it’s hard to see the screen of the device. The app also provides far more options for various forms of recovery and therapy than just the on-board routines, including specific routines designed for recovery from different kinds of exercise, for connection with yoga, for pain, and for relaxation/sleep.Mind/Body functions: The Theragun sense has special capabilities designed to help the user make a deeper mind-body connection or, at least relax. The gun comes with a heart rate sensor that is in the grip, and though it is in a spot that makes sense, it also was difficult for me to get it to work properly at first, and sometimes it still seems to struggle to give me a reading. This seems a bit odd, given that I also wear a fitness watch and it generally has no difficulty tracking my heart rate. The sensor uses an index finger, though, and if you hold the grip too tightly or a bit off, adjustment will be needed to get it to work. Once I had gotten it to work, it was a lot easier to get it to work again. This model also includes haptic feedback for the mind-body work, which means the gun will kind of purr and vibrate to give you feedback about when to breathe and whether to breathe in or out or hold your breath.Without the app, I’ll say it’s pretty unclear how to really best use the sensor and the haptic feedback. The app helps isolate some routines for relaxation that employ the features, mostly breathing with the haptic feedback. These routines are relatively short, but they are fairly effective at allowing one to relax. The feedback and the app helps tell the user when to breathe in, when to breathe out, when to hold a breath, etc. It also times these elements and does help to make a user do a whole routine rather than just breath a few times and stop. I’d say this is where the Sense is better than the relaxation breathing that, for example, my watch will have me do. That is really quite limited in terms of time—these Theragun routines might be 2 minutes or 5 minutes, and the extended attention to breathing and relaxing does make a difference. You can also tinker with the settings, so if you need to build lung capacity you can change the timings down, or if you have capacity that needs more of a challenge, you can increase the timings.That said, there are really only a few routines currently built into the app. For this feature to really be a selling point, and to invest in the Theragun Sense over a different model, Theragun needs to develop more routines that specifically use these features. As well, more instruction on how to use the sensors without the app might also help. I really was looking for more than just the routines listed in the “mind-body” area, and I found a “move and breathe” routine. I tried it, and I was a bit annoyed because this was a longer routine---13 steps or something—and only focused on massage. There were no breathing exercises. So I don’t know if something went wrong there, or if it was not actually developed for using with the Sense model.As well, the routines for mind-body seem to underutilize the heart rate sensor. There is a routine that is about the heart monitor, but it just has the user hold the gun against the chest, listen to the haptic feedback (and the music in the app, which is supposed to be relaxing) and…well, that’s all. It’s supposed to be about, I think, slowing down the heart and relaxing, but I would expect the app to also direct your breathing, or suggest what to listen for in the feedback, but it does not really. And if you stop the routine early, it seems unable to give any heart rate data. It also only gives an avg heart rate at the end if you complete the full five minutes—not a sense of change or where your started and where you ended. So, this seems limited to me in what it can really tell me or help me do. As I said, I wear a fitness watch; I look at the heart rate charts and HRV charts I get frequently, especially when I am not feeling great, as was the case while I was first using the Sense.I think Theragun can do a lot more in this area, and I hope the develop more routines and specific utilizations for these features, especially ones that can integrate the massage functions with the breathing / heart rate functions. If I’ve already given them access to my biometric data, I would like a little more out of the deal.

[Rewarded Review] More Powerful & Offers Better Ergonomics.

This Theragun Pro is more powerful and offers better ergonomics. The noise level is significantly higher. If you ultimately care for force and noise is not a concern, I suggest you make yourself a massage gun with a jigsaw - it will have all the amplitude and stall force you can handle and then some… Of course, get yourself and others around you some earplugs. But the Theragun seems to offer the perfect balance.The 3 things that drew me to it were:1) the 60lb stall force vs the 30lb stall of my generic unit (the 16mm vs 10mm massage depth was also a consideration)2) the Theragun's proprietary triangular shaped handle3) the 2 swappable batteries, that allowed for longer sessions (and allow for charging one battery, while the other is in use)After using this ... MoreThis Theragun Pro is more powerful and offers better ergonomics.

I use it while sitting in a chair/recliner and lean back into it, so the (padded) back of the recliner allows me to brace the unit to push harder and apply more pressure (and as expected, the generic unit with its 30lbs of force will stall out, where this Pro unit with its 60 lbs of force keeps going).***IMPORTANT NOTE TO FOLKS WONDERING***- the Bluetooth connectability and app that can be downloaded are interesting, and allow you to load 2 more settings on the unit, and a constant speed mode (that can manually be adjusted faster or slower), and a varying speed mode (that slowly varies back and forth from the slowest to fastest speed).You need to download the app to load/program the other 2 available mode settings, otherwise, selecting those does nothing (the modes show up on the display as 'T', 'I', 'II', and 'III'. Modes 'II' and 'III' aren't pre-programmed).Interesting to play with the app, and the various modes/sessions on the app not only have countdown timers for each bodypart/muscle group, but the app even shows you where to apply the Theragun, and gives you a recommended range of how much force/pressure to apply (and the unit itself has a sensor that indicates how hard you're pressing/how much force you're applying). Interesting and it may be of value to some.- some folks complain that the unit is loud. It's not a consideration to me. My primary concern is how well a massager works as a massager. As far as how loud, I can still have a conversation while using the massager, without having to yell, or constantly say, "WHAT?!! I didn't catch that". I wouldn't use it next to someone who's asleep, but having used various massagers over the decades, I don't really find this one exceptionally loud. There may be units that are quieter than this one, but as mentioned my priority for a massager, is how well it works as a massager.Is this Theragun Pro worth 3x to 4x the cost of cheaper options? That's going to be an individual choice. For me, the triangular handle and adjustable 'arm' angle allowing me to find a secure, comfortable grip to effectively use it on myself, coupled with the higher stall force alone, make it worth it.

But this app is different. The initial application setup walks you through an easy, step-by-step process of inputting your preferences and areas of interest relative to your general activities, recurring pain, and other daily routines and physical characteristics. It also provides a swift method to pair your device and register it for warranty purposes. But its standout feature is the provision of a concentrated set of instructions with visual cues on the device’s embedded screen, in tandem with the application’s directions.Utilizing the app alongside the Theragun Sense works exceptionally well. Simply scroll through to find the routine you want, and it sends it directly to your paired device, with instructions on contact points, which attachment to use, and a timer for each spot in the routine, all displayed on the screen embedded in the device. Moreover, these routines are not time-consuming. It’s remarkable how easy it is to complete one for quick relief. The provided tote also makes it incredibly easy to carry this with you wherever you go. With that said, I’ll be taking this to the office with me from now on to have at my desk for lunchtime workout recovery and also for the breathwork options.This is a very well-made piece of equipment. The quality of the app genuinely makes it shine in ways that I have routinely seen other items falter, rendering them either less appealing or even less useful. I highly recommend this for anyone needing physical relief in the palm of their hands.

I love the way this massager was made—it does not only let me focus on my physical pains, but it helps me work on my mental health too—something you do not get from a common massager.What makes this Theragun great for me:1) It seamlessly works with an app called Therabody so it works based on how I plan to use it. Example, I do get knee pains after running. I also have been getting hip pains from carrying our baby. And sometimes, I get back pains from too much work focus. Then it asks me these specifics at set up and puts them in the massager screen so it customizes it (like shortcuts) on what I usually use the massager for.2) The app gives me tips, not just on how to use the massager post workout but also on my activities AS A WHOLE.

Then it asks me these specifics at set up and puts them in the massager screen so it customizes it (like shortcuts) on what I usually use the massager for.2) The app gives me tips, not just on how to use the massager post workout but also on my activities AS A WHOLE. I used to just use a massager after my calves hurt after running. In reality, self-care should not only be at the recovery stage—there are ways to be preventive of pain and to do things better. Example, there’s a guide in the app before running. So it guides me at warm-up, like what massager attachment to use at PRE-RUN so that I am better prepared for the activity. At first I thought, doing this pre-workout stuff is going to add to my usual workout time, but come to think of it, if I do not get hurt from my workout, I will have better recovery, thus have better use of my time.3) To reiterate on the holistic approach of this massager, it even has breathing and relaxation exercises and can track my heartrate using the integrated biometric sensor. Although I do have a smartwatch that tracks my heartrate, my smartwatch does not have the guide like the app does. So now, how I am using this massager is integrated with my other pre and post workout activities with relevant tracking. Not just my physical muscles are massaged but my stress levels too.4) Besides this massager being compact and easy to transport (with the nice bag that fits all the attachments)—the grip of the massager itself is amazing. The texture, the size of the “bars”, and the shape of the “gun” makes me easily hold and position the gun on the pain points BETTER without putting stress on my forearm. My wrist actually feels stable and relaxed while I apply the correct focus and pressure on my body parts.Also, the screen is useful and the buttons are placed and designed well that it does not need a manual to understand how to use it. If there was one thing that I found challenging in this gun, is that, I am 45 years old, and it is quite a challenge to read small fonts. When the massager is on and I need to change the speed, the screen shakes a little too much for my eyes to see the details. So I end up just getting a feel of what’s right using the up and down buttons, versus memorizing the onscreen speed to reference what speed matches my thigh pains at the moment.This is such a great massager, and I am really amazed at how it makes me be more holistically equipped for my activities. Warm ups and prep, breathing and relaxation, and post recovery—this Theragun has thought of it all. I definitely recommend.

After a quick massage to relax the body, you can move on to relax the mind through breath work exercises which you'll want to be paired to the app for so it can track every session and provide personalized insight into based of the readings from the built in biometric heart rate sensor. This routine will also give you haptic feedback guiding you through vibration so you can mimic the vibration with inhales(deep breath) and exhale so you don't have to guess how long of a breath or exhale to take. To take it a step further, you can use the Therabody app for sound therapy while going through your breath work routines. These are all mindfulness techniques that you can do without the Theragun Sense but when paired with it, it gave me a better experience that on a nightly basis would lead to better sleep and recovery.Overall, the Theragun Sense is a great useful tool for me, my body, and my mental health.

[Rewarded Review] Small but Mighty

I have an older Theragun Elite which is a bit larger and louder than the new Sense. I am surprised that Sense could pack the punch that it does. Also, just as important, it's charged by USB C(that needs to be addressed immediately). Though I did notice that Sense can not be used while it is charging. When I first took it out of the package, I noticed how much smaller and lighter the Sense was. I had my doubts it could penetrate as well as my older Elite. After using it for about a week, I noticed I'm grabbing the Sense more often due to it being lighter and smaller AND definitely quieter. Not that the Elite was a screamer but it is louder and due to it being heavier it does hit a bit harder.

I am surprised that Sense could pack the punch that it does. Also, just as important, it's charged by USB C(that needs to be addressed immediately). Though I did notice that Sense can not be used while it is charging. When I first took it out of the package, I noticed how much smaller and lighter the Sense was.

Not that the Elite was a screamer but it is louder and due to it being heavier it does hit a bit harder. My kid is always asking 'do I have to do that while we are watching something'. So far she hasn't said anything to me while using the Sense but only after a few side eye glances when I reached over to retrieve it. Also my wife seems more comfortable using this as it isn't as aggressive and easier for her to handle. It definitely gets the job done. My wife so far prefers the dampener head as it doesn't bounce as much when going over boney areas, but she also like the micro point for the forearms. After sitting in front of screens all day then coming home to chase my kid all over the place, my back and neck have been paying the price for the reckless abandon I had for my body in my younger years. Being able to massage myself effectively AND relax myself at the same time leave me calmer and gives me more patience after a long day.I didn't see ANY bluetooth options in the menus and I was initially confused as to how I would sync with the Therabody app. But once I selected the Sense in the list of devices it immediately connected. No pairing mode to initiate. It's very quick to connect to my phone. It also starts and stops via the app during the guided programs or vice versa. If i hit the center button the program on the app pauses. The app is loaded with different activities that you would use the Sense both pre and post activity or workout. Purposeful breathing is key while stretching, working out, cooling down, meditating or even driving or sitting at your desk working. Having a guide to keep you on track is a thoughtful inclusion and definitely aids in taking some the edge off during a long stressful day. It's like having a meditation coach lightly buzzing at your chest rather than a stranger talking to you in a "calming voice".The Sense includes 4 heads, a small travel pouch and a usb cable. The smaller size+lighter weight makes us more inclined to bring it with us on vacations (where after you've chasing your little children around ALL day you REALLY NEED this). All that with the ease of no pairing mode bluetooth connection AND USB C... Adds to the mind and body relaxation the Sense series is aiming for. Your sore body and exhausted, stressed out mind will thank you for it.

[Rewarded Review] Versatile massage equipment

Massage therapy guns have been around for a while, but I’ve never really understood the impact it could have on a person’s life… until now.In my opinion, the Theragun Sense is a complete massage and recovery tool that may remove the need to visit an actual massage therapist. I don’t say this often, but I do like how everything was packaged, so kudos to the packaging engineer.Out of the box you get the Theragun Sense, a soft carrying case, a USB-C charging cable, three extra different types of massage tips, and manuals.Before you even try the Theragun Sense for the first time, you will be encouraged to download the Therabody app to your smartphone. Once you download it, you can pair the Theragun to your app so you can use the timed presets routines.You can still ... MoreMassage therapy guns have been around for a while, but I’ve never really understood the impact it could have on a person’s life… until now.In my opinion, the Theragun Sense is a complete massage and recovery tool that may remove the need to visit an actual massage therapist.

Once you download it, you can pair the Theragun to your app so you can use the timed presets routines.You can still use the Theragun without the app for a quickstart/manual experience, but the app is actually quite useful. When using it manually, you can turn up the intensity, or lower the intensity based on which body part you’re currently focusing on. There’s even a heartbeat monitor on the interior of the handle grip.The Therabody app offers many features. Initially you’re introduced to a six part tutorial that helps you gain a better understanding of the different attachment tips. There are other non massage gun related options as well such as sleeping, breathing, and heartbeat. There’s a “For you” tab where you can create routines for different activities or different parts of the day. You can also import your Apple health app, which is great because you can add existing data to help fine tune a routine. The app is set up in a great way to help you with your physical and mental relaxation.Whether you enjoy are heavy duty workout, or something as simple as going for a walk, the Theragun Sense can help you both warm up before a workout, or recover and relax. I found myself using it more for a post workout recover after a shower, and also for random uses when I’m watching tv.With the versatility of the multiple different massage tips, you can find the type that works for you based on which body part you’re relaxing. In my opinion, most of them work well, but the smallest one is the hardest in terms of density, and feels like a medieval torture device. (I kid, but it does hurt more than the others).All in all, I’m very pleased with the Theragun Sense. The build quality is great, the materials seems grade A, and everything is just simple to use.
