Therabody – Theragun Elite Handheld Percussive Massage Device (Latest Model) with Travel Case – RED

The Theragun Elite makes effective massages quick and easy. If you know what you’re doing, you can pick it up and start using it. It’s simple to use with basically a start and stop button and speed controls. It comes with a travel case that holds everything, including the charger and all 5 attachments. Make sure you check the “Shortcuts” listed on one of the included cards. They’re are just a few and they were helpful to me. A key reason I like the Elite is that it was very effective at massaging stiff and sore muscles after moving!
Design
There are a number of things I like about the design of the Theragun Elite. It feels solid and looks cool! The triangular design makes it easy to hold at different angles in order to massage hard to get places like below the shoulder blades and the middle of the back. The bright and clear OLED display makes it easy to see which program you’re selecting, how much battery life there is, how much time there is in a routine, and if you’re apply enough pressure. In spite of the powerful massage action it’s also not very loud. It’s easy to have a conversation while it’s being used.
The Therabody App
The Therabody App is a great value add for the Elite! For one thing, the massager actually gets updates through the app. When I connected it there was an update waiting which I installed. I will say it took a number of tries for the update to complete correctly but it did. I just had to keep trying, which was easy but took some time. I recommend you close other open apps and don’t touch for phone while it’s updating. Besides that you can choose three different routines from the app, and there are many, to store in the massager. Once on the massager you can just press left or right to select the stored routine. This lets you do a routine without using your phone. The app lets you look up routines (Explore) by Activity, Body area, or Ailment. Then it tells you where to massage, how long, and with which attachment. Again, this is a feature that’s a great value add for me as there are ways to massage that you may not guess for a specific pain or issue – for instance better sleep or jet lag!
Five Attachments
The attachments vary in size, shape, and/or firmness. The default attachment, the dampener, is a softer but larger attachment. While it’s soft it still gives a great massage and it great for areas around bones. The other four attachments are more firm and include a smaller round ball, a smaller ball or “thumb”, a cone, and a wedge.
Battery Life
The battery life is excellent! They say 2 hours and that sounds about right. I’ve used it a lot so far and only charged it a few times. Most of the routines only take 1-6 minutes each. Of course you can just massage without a routine too. The battery indicator goes down in maybe 25% increments but goes up 1% at a time when you’re charging it. It’s easy to see where it’s at on the clear OLED display.

I’ve been using it for a few days now and really like it. When I first tried it, I used it without the app and wasn’t really sure whether I was using the right amount of pressure. I had a bunch of knots in my upper back and although it is a little awkward to use it by yourself on your back, it can be done.
I then downloaded the associated app for my iPhone and that made a big difference. The app connects via Bluetooth to the device and has multiple programs you can use for back, shoulders, sleep, etc. The best part was it tells if you are providing enough pressure when using the massage gun. Great feature and very helpful.
Overall, I would recommend this device to help loosen up sore/tight muscles. It is relatively quiet and didn’t get in the way of listening to the TV while working out the knots in my calves.

Works really well for hitting painful and knotted up areas of my body. Great tool to use before and after working out. It is expensive but worth it.

It is worth every dime of it.the best it does it’s job.
