Therabody Theragun PRO Plus - 6-in-1 Deep Tissue Percussion Massage Gun, Handheld Personal Massager for Full Body Pain Relief & Muscle Tension with Biometric Breathwork, Vibration & Heated Attachments

Bought the Gen4 TheraGun Pro on the Amazon 2022 pre-Black Friday sale.I've had a generic ~$90 percussive massager for 2-3 years and decided to get the 4x more expensive Theragun Pro when it went on sale. 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 4th Gen Theragun Pro several times already, here are my key points:- that triangular shaped handle (and the ability to change the angle of the arm) are THE biggest improvements, to me, ESPECIALLY for using the unit on myself.The triangular grip, and the adjustable angle of the 'arm', make it much easier to find a comfortable, secure grip to use this on myself (especially on my shoulders and back, but even on my arms, thighs, pecs, calf muscles etc.), compared to the 'T' shape of my generic unit (and every other unit on the market).- the 60lb stall force (and 16mm depth vs 10mm) allows me to get an even deeper massage, especially on my back. 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 60lbs of force keeps going).- ***IMPORTANT NOTE TO FOLKS WONDERING***The 4th Gen TheraGun Pro that I purchased on Amazon during the sale that began the week before Black Friday 2022, did indeed ship with 2x 4th Gen marked batteries. I'll update when I've had the chance to actually time how long each battery lasts on a full charge, but unlike some reviews/comments, mine didn't come with 3rd Gen batteries, and thus far, one battery has lasted over 45 minutes of use, and the battery indicator is still at about 2/3rds.- the Bluetooth connectability and app that can be downloaded are interesting, and allow you to load 2 more settings on the unit (as it ships, the 4th Gen units have 4 available modes, but only 2 are pre-loaded/pre-programmed; 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 4th Gen 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. YMMV.

amazing and perfect!!!! I have the mini theragun also amazing but the pro is even more fantastic !!! I been using on myself and my clients !!!

I haven't had this long, but I'm already seeing great benefits, especially with muscles in my back after a long day working in the yard. But I've also found it very useful in easing pain from old injuries on my left foot. I cup my hand over the top of my foot to push against (otherwise it bounces) and then run the Theragun with the micro point along the bottom. I do the same with my hands, and in my right where I have pretty severe trigger finger, it has done wonders to ease pain and stiffness, as well as help to loosen the tendon (I run it all the way from the middle bones of my fingers to my shoulder). My ring finger is still catching somewhat, but my middle finger is almost back to normal after less than a week. And I'm not positive yet, but I think it might be helping with overall hand stiffness caused by my carpal tunnel. (Note that I place my hand palm-up on something like the mattress or a pillow to provide some support while using.) I also find it very relaxing as a quick all-over massage before climbing into bed.One thing that I've seen others mention that I agree with is that it would be really helpful to have a lower setting than what is currently the lowest. I can tell that over time I will be able to tolerate the strength in certain areas. But there are some spots I'm not sure I'll be able to tolerate full contact even on the lowest setting - I'm able to use it now by barely allowing it to contact my skin, and it does still help immensely. However, I can certainly see there may be older people who could not use this at all simply because the lowest percussion setting is too much.In terms of quality, it seems very well-made, but time will tell. It is hefty in hand...I think that could also be an issue for some when positioning for use on the back, but I actually find that the weight helps me with control when I'm using it around bony areas (spine, knees, etc...). It seems to help it from bouncing around. The handle shape is excellent for reaching anywhere it is needed. Changing attachments is simple. I don't find the app particularly helpful for my needs, but maybe that will change over time. (I use it for the Airboots, which I love, love, love!) I do wish the battery lasted longer (I charge every other day), but charging is simple, so it isn't a huge issue.Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase! I haven't sprung for the cold attachment yet. I'm going to wait on that as I think it would only be useful if I can tolerate the percussion more fully. It's on my list for the future.
